Orion Sang | Detroit Free Press

Former Michigan basketball forward Duncan Robinson didn’t hear his name called during Thursday night’s NBA draft. But the undrafted rookie still has a chance at catching onto an NBA roster.

According to a report from ESPN's Chris Haynes, Robinson has agreed to play for the Miami Heat’s Summer League team.

Robinson played three seasons for the Wolverines between 2015-2018. After transferring from Division III Williams College, Robinson quickly earned a reputation as one of the Big Ten’s best shooters.

The 6-foot-8 forward shot 45 percent on 5.9 three-point attempts per game during the 2015-16 season, 42.4 percent on 4.0 attempts per game in 2016-17 and 38.4 percent on 5.0 attempts per game this past season.

Although far from most projected draft boards, Robinson still saw plenty of interest during the pre-draft process. He worked out for the Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, and Golden State Warriors.

Two of Robinson’s former college teammates, Derrick Walton Jr. and Zak Irvin, played in the Summer League last year. The league will begin play July 2 in Las Vegas.

On Thursday night, Robinson's former U-M teammate, Moritz Wagner, was drafted in the first round by the Lakers.
