Member of Cavs Staff Appears to Google Heat's Duncan Robinson as Team Gets Torched by Him
By Mark Powell
In this case, it's as bad as it looks.
The Cleveland Cavaliers' start to the 2019-20 campaign has been miserable, as many expected in John Beilein's first season. Yet, this is downright embarrassing.
While getting torched by the Heat, a member of Beilien's staff was caught googling the stats of Miami's leading scorer for the game, Duncan Robinson.
This is a terrible look for a number of reasons, but let's start with the obvious. First, Robinson is a well-known NBA commodity at this point, and a solid outside shooter. Second, Beilien coached Robinson at Michigan. Third, my man is searching for a 'Donte Robinson'.
File this one under THIS LEAGUE.
This says wonders about the Cavs' level of scouting when an assistant finds the need to look into a prominent member of the opposing team mid-game. That being said, we don't know if this is a high-level assistant, or merely just a curious scout.
We do know, however, that it looks hilarious on the surface. Robinson had 29 points in 31 minutes, so the mid-game scouting had little impact.
