On July 23 , 31-year-old Duncan Robinson joined the Detroit Pistons with a three-year, $48 million contract and became one of the most critical veterans of this young team. Duncan Robinson has played in the NBA for eight seasons, has a three-point shooting percentage of nearly 40%, and has experience in the finals.

Duncan Robinson admitted that he was anxious about his unstable playing time in high school. Even after he has established himself in the NBA and won a multi-million contract, the feeling of insecurity has not dissipated. For him, this self-doubt is a driving force that drives him to constantly pursue higher goals. " I always ask myself: ' Am I good enough? '" Robinson said. He firmly believes that what really defines him is not the labels of the outside world, but the hard work and persistence every day.

This belief is one of the reasons why the Detroit Pistons chose him. The team's president of basketball operations, Trajan Langdon, brought him in through a sign-and-trade, sending away Italian forward Simone Fontecchio. In this team with an average age of only 24.6 years old, Robinson is the second oldest player after Tobias Harris. He, Harris and Caris LeVert share the role of locker room leader and use their own experience to influence young players.

For the Pistons, Robinson's significance is not only his three-point shooting. He understands the loss of being a substitute on the bench, and has also experienced the glory of starting. He has experienced the ups and downs of the season, and has always insisted on training and accumulating resilience. He firmly believes that psychological stress resistance, like basketball skills, can be acquired through practice and training.

Today, Duncan Robinson stands at a new starting point in his career. He is no longer just a three-point shooter who is regarded as a " dark horse " , but a veteran who shoulders inheritance and leadership. Now in Detroit, he will lead the way with experience, respond to doubts with actions, and continue to write his own chapter of tenacity in this young Pistons team.
