While Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were dealing with injuries during the 2019-20 season, Glenn Robinson III provided a level of consistency the Golden State Warriors desperately needed.
The six-year veteran averaged 12.9 points on 48.1% shooting from the field with 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest. Along with registering new career highs in scoring, rebounds, assists, field goal and free-throw percentage, Robinson III shot a career-best 40% from beyond the arc on 3.5 attempts per contest.
Along with his steady play, the Michigan Wolverines product started and played in 48 of 51 games during his time in the Bay Area.
After a breakout campaign in Steve Kerr’s rotation, the Warriors included Robinson III in a trade with Alec Burks to the Philadelphia 76ers for draft pick compensation.
Following 14 games and one playoff series with Philadelphia, the 26-year-old is on his way back to Northern California. However, it’s not for a reunion with the Wa3rriors. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Robinson III has agreed to a deal with the Sacramento Kings.

With 2020 draft picks like Tyrese Haliburton and Jahmi’us Ramsey roaming Sacramento’s backcourt behind De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield, the former Golden State Warrior can bring a layer of proven veteran stability to Sacramento’s slim wing unit.
