Of the four pros in fourth and fifth position, only one player, Josh Hawley, was able to play in the last two weeks. Even if the “Junge Wilden” with David Fuchs and Antonio Dorn have recently shown promising performances, due to the many games in October, protection is necessary”, says sports director Thorsten Leibenath. The 27-year-old Devin Robinson was therefore given a temporary contract at ratiopharm ulm fitted. The center player was last under contract in Puerto Rico (16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds) and Taiwan (24.2 points, 12.5 rebounds). Before that, the University of Florida college graduate briefly played in the NBA with the Washington Wizards (8 games, 13.5 minutes, 6.12 points, 3.12 rebounds) and in the G-League. In particular, in the three seasons in the G-League, Robinson showed strong performances. In 2018-2019, the Wizards farm team had 19.9 points and 8.2 rebounds. The following season the Raptors had 17.6 points and 7.5 rebounds and most recently the Fort Wayne Mad Ants had 15.1 points and 8.6 rebounds.
He also spent four summers in the NBA Summer League. There, too, he shone with scoring and rebounds. In 2018 he was one of the best scorers in Las Vegas with 19.8 points. Now he wants to cause a sensation in Europe. The athletic, versatile American played his last game in the Puerto Rican league two months ago. Already today (Wednesday) Robinson and his friend Emily are expected at the OrangeCampus. Sports Director Thorsten Leibenath on the surprising new signing: “Devin is a big man with a great jumping ability, outstanding rebound qualities and a variable offensive game. It will stabilize our performance under the boards. Once again a talented player decides to use ratiopharm ulm as a starting point for a European career.”
