Coincidentally, Robinson’s history as a player who was not appreciated to the full extent of his talent gives him a unique insight to a PR struggle that Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart has dealt with after picking up a seven-game suspension for fighting last month. “One thing about Stew that really bothers me when I hear it publicly is that people try to boil him down to certain moments,” Robinson said on the Young Man and the Three podcast. “Stew does so much more than just being like a physical force or intimidator. Obviously, the protecting the rim thing is talked about, but passing, spacing the floor, there’s so much more to his game. People that actually watch Pistons games know that.”
Now that Robinson’s had an opportunity to play with Stewart for 65 games, the full depth of Beef Stew’s game has finally crystallized for his first-year teammate. “I think people like national media or people that are tuning in and out might see the moments where he’s trying to be an enforcer the way that he is,” Robinson said. “I don’t know how you feel about that because we’ve actually never spoken about it, but when people try to boil you down to one thing, I think it just minimizes everything you do on the court, honestly.”

NBA Courtside: Duncan Robinson on the Charlotte vs. Detroit incident: “It looked and I could see how there could be a narrative outwardly of like, oh, I like left my guy hanging or I didn’t care about Stew or whatever. Like, and that was actually the only aspect of it that like I wanted to make sure Stew and I were cool, not like publicly, but like and I do think Stew and my teammates know that I like ride for them. Obviously, it’s going to be a little different than how Stew rides for his teammates. Like I’m also goin to be authentically me, right? And in that moment, I got captured. It looked bad, it did to be honest. Like it didn’t look like I was down for the cause. You know, I learned my lesson. Next I’m going to grab someone, at least make it, you know, kind of get in the middle.” (Via @OldManAndThree)

Omari Sankofa II: Asked JB about the Huerter-Robinson lineups vs the Spurs. He said they brought spacing and were heady on defense, and it’s a combo they’ll explore more down the stretch. “It’s the gravity they carry. It’s the decisions that defenses have to make with those two guys on the floor.”
Omari Sankofa II: Jalen Duren (right knee soreness) is questionable tonight vs the Knicks. Tobias Harris (left hip soreness) and Duncan Robinson (left quad contusion) are probable. Dario Saric (Not With Team) is out. Daniss Jenkins isn’t on the report after sitting out last night.
Hunter Patterson: Cade Cunningham (left hip contusion, illness) has been upgraded to probable for tonight. Duncan Robinson (low back sprain) is now available. Caris LeVert (illness) is out. Ron Holland II (illness) remains probable.
Omari Sankofa II: FINAL: Pistons 108, Suns 105. Lots of missed free throws late but they won, ugly. Robinson: 19 pts Duren: 16 pts, 18 rebs Harris: 16 pts, 7 rebs Ivey: 15 pts Holland: 11 pts, 9 rebs Cunningham: 10 pts, 11 assts

The Pistons have downgraded Cade Cunningham (right hip contusion) and Duncan Robinson (left calf contusion) to probable for Monday’s game against New York. Caris LeVert (left knee tendinopathy) is doubtful.
Where do you see the front office’s priority being placed on at the trade deadline? I’m still expecting Detroit’s front office to be opportunistic but not aggressive. The Pistons have a slim lead over the New York Knicks for the No. 1 seed in the conference. Trajan Langdon, Detroit’s president of basketball operations, has openly expressed his desire to let the team continue growing internally since taking over at the beginning of last season. While there could be some chances to improve around the margins — say another reliable 3-point shooter outside of Duncan Robinson or a scoring threat off the bench — don’t expect the Pistons to sacrifice their youth and draft capital to make any big-swing trades that could alter the fabric of the roster.
Omari Sankofa II: FINAL: Pistons 122, Blazers 116. They trailed 108-103 with 3:30 to play but took control for good with a 14-2 run. Big shots from Cunningham (27 pts, 9 assts, 3 stls) and Robinson (14 pts, 7 rebs, 2 stls) closed it out. They improve to 18-5 overall.
