Glenn Robinson III
Heading into the 2017-18 NBA season, Glenn Robinson III figured to be an important part of a young Indiana Pacers team. Unfortunately, he suffered an ankle injury that kept him sidelined for nearly the entire season. Even when he did return in late February, he was used sparingly and ultimately found himself out of the rotation come playoff time.
Still, he’s shown a lot of promise in the past as an athletic wing player, and his 3-point shooting has become an exceptional weapon as well. He’s improved every season, going from 37.8 percent in 2015-16, to 39.2 percent in 2016-17 to 41.2 percent in 2017-18. Assuming he’s able to have a productive offseason that allows him to get back up to snuff after the ankle injury, I’d love to see what the Jazz could do with the promising 24-year-old.
Robinson has the potential to play and defend multiple positions and if the Jazz could help him maximize his athleticism to become a more prolific offensive threat while still excelling from deep, I could see him becoming a nice part of their second unit.
There’s certainly some risk involved with Robinson, but considering that his potential is still sky-high and that he was paid just over $1.5 million this past year and likely will struggle to find a team willing to break the bank on him, he could be a nice free agent addition for the Jazz to pursue at a bargain price.
