Philadelphia 76ers swingman Glenn Robinson III isn’t quite sure why the Sixers traded for him from the Golden State Warriors.
Robinson has appeared in six games with the Sixers. He's playing 14.5 minutes per contest.
Here's what he had to say about joining the Sixers:
“Even when (Golden State) played Philly, I showed them what I could do,” Robinson told Spencer Davies of Basketball Insiders. “So to play those consistent minutes a night and perform well… that’s the most disappointing part about coming here is that — both of us (are) coming off career years where we’re looking at hopefully big numbers after the season. I know I’ve got a family to feed. So you think about all those things.
“All those things play a role, and then when you come here and your role’s not really explained or you don’t know what’s going on with the trade — it’s not like it was a trade where you come in and immediately have an impact. It’s a little different, so… this team is full of wings, full of guys who can play. So really, I don’t really understand it. But it’s a business, you’ve got to make it happen and go out and try to do your best every night.”
Robinson is averaging 6.0 points with the Sixers. He's shooting 51.5 percent from the field.
The Sixers acquired Robinson and Alec Burks from the Warriors because they need more shooters and playmakers around All-Stars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
Robinson is making $1,882,867 this season. He becomes an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. The 26-year-old has career NBA averages of 5.9 points and 2.6 rebounds with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons, Warriors and Sixers.
