Robinson joins a Pistons team coming off a turnaround for the ages. Detroit’s Cinderella season ended in Game 6 of the opening round against the New York Knicks. Robinson was a replacement for Malik Beasley, who is ensnared in a federal gambling probe. Detroit was reportedly looking to sign Beasley to a long-term deal this offseason. Their plans changed once his legal troubles surfaced.
Robinson will take the floor with free-agent signing Caris LeVert, Point Guard Cade Cunningham, and Center Jalen Duren. The sharpshooter will bolster Detroit’s bench as they look to build upon their best season in years.
Final Thoughts
Robinson’s signing is a shrewd one by the Detroit Pistons. It illustrates the team is not resting on its laurels following a shockingly successful 2024-25 regular season. He will look to continue being one of the best three-point shooters in his league with his new team.
