Beno Udrih on Glenn Robinson III: I hope NBA teams give him a shot to bring him back
Robinson has made multiple starts for the Herd and is averaging 9.7 points per game while shooting about 50% from the field, 37.9 % from three, and 81.3% from the free-throw line. “In the beginning of the season he was not playing as many minutes, but he’s a pro. He’s a true pro. He’s been working on his strengths and taking care of his body,” Udrih said. “I think his body is holding well together. I hope some teams in the NBA at least talk about giving him a shot to bring him back. I definitely think he could bring a lot to an NBA team, any team that he plays on.”

But making it to the NBA was something Robinson wanted for himself and not because of who his dad was. “I was always grateful for my dad that he didn’t force basketball on me,” Robinson said. “You see some ex-players that just force the game on their kids or take it too seriously or are too hard on their kids; my dad was always great in that aspect. He always wanted to see me succeed in whatever I wanted to do. I really enjoy that part about my dad.” -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / February 22, 2024
He’s wearing No. 13, the same number his father, Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson, sported for the organization after the Bucks selected him first overall in 1994. Glenn Robinson III sat down in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency attached to the Orange County Convention Center in late December in Orlando, Florida, where the G League held its Winter Showcase for NBA scouts to evaluate players like Robinson III for one of the precious few openings around the league. “To come back and still be able to step back into this, I feel like I’m still playing good basketball,” he told Yahoo Sports. “I think that it would be hard to really make a G League team after two years for a lot of guys who stepped out.” -via Yahoo!

The full Exhibit 10 is now worth $75,000, up from $50,000 under the 2017 CBA, and the total will also rise in proportion with the NBA salary cap moving forward. That’s perhaps the most important detail, where the guaranteed figure projects to eclipse the $100,000 mark in just three years. Add that amount to the standard G League salary of $40,500 for a six-month season, with the chance of signing lucrative 10-day deals that begin with NBA teams on Friday, and many G League players can quickly tally a quarter-million dollars by staying stateside. “It’s still a blessing to be playing for a living,” Robinson III told Yahoo Sports. “That’s the mindset I try to stay in. This is where everyone who wants to be in the NBA is grinding for their dream.” -via Yahoo! Sports / January 3, 2024
