Miami Heat Sign Undrafted Big With 9-Foot Standing Reach


If the Miami Heat were looking to add some height to their Summer League roster, they've found the right man. Undrafted Fresno State junior Orlando Robinson has a 9-foot standing reach and a 7 1/2-foot wingspan; he will join the likes of rookie 6'10" shooting guard Nikola Jovic and returning center Omer Yurtseven on the Heat's Summer League squad.

According to Ira Windermnan of the Miami Sun-Sentinel, Robinson has signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Heat, and will report to his hometown Las Vegas to join the Heat's Summer League team.  

He was a first-team All-Mountain West selection, averaging 19.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks this past season. The 21-year-old also shot 35% from behind the arc. Robinson is one of two players in NCAA history with at least 700 points, 300 rebounds and 100 assists in a season.

Although he packs an explosive offensive game, scouts aren't as high on his defensive prowess.
