Justin Robinson, the hero of Barcelona’s comeback win on the road against Panathinaikos, is not surprised by his team’s excellent form. The Catalan side has now won eight consecutive games across the ACB and EuroLeague.
“We know how this league is,” Robinson told EuroLeague TV. “We have a great team like I said at the beginning of the season. We have 11 new guys, but we think we are one of the best teams as well. We are going to continue to prove that. To win in a huge environment like this against the No. 1 seed, that’s who we are, right? We are going to continue to push and Visca Barca.”
The former Trapani point guard has established himself as one of the EuroLeague’s premier pick-and-roll operators, ranking among the competition’s best in both volume and efficiency.
Here are the numbers shared by the official EuroLeague website:
The numbers are particularly impressive considering that the league-wide average currently stands at 0.89 points per possession on pick-and-roll plays.
Robinson has shown he can punish virtually any defensive coverage, whether by attacking off the dribble or pulling up for a jumper.
Here are some of his key plays from the first part of the season:
