Robinson was selected 40th overall in the 2014 draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He failed to garner minutes and was waived after playing 25 games, before getting picked up by the Philadelphia 76ers, where he again struggled to see the court.
Robinson ended the season with averages of 2.1 points and 1.1 rebounds in 7.5 minutes per game. He became a free agent after failing to receive a qualifying offer from the Sixers.
Hoping to gain traction around the league, Robinson suited up for the Atlanta Hawks in Summer League action. He averaged 11.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game while shooting 46.3 percent from the field. He also turned heads with his high-flying dunks.
The 21-year-old Robinson will likely contend for a roster spot at the deep end of Indiana's bench.
