Season outlook

As mentioned before, Glenn Robinson III already provides 3-point shooting, so he has to play to in order to keep defenders from crowding the paint. He’s also improved each year that he’s been in the league.

Since his injury was not debilitating or severe, there’s little reason to believe that the trend won’t continue. My educated guess on his stats for this upcoming season are 15.0 minutes, 6.5 points, 1.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game.

As for his shooting percentages, I’d say 45 percent from 2-point range, 40 percent from 3-point land, 72 percent from the free-throw line.
