Robinson plays 31 minutes in Warriors debut
Nate Robinson - G - Golden State Warriors

Nate Robinson played 31 minutes in his Warriors debut on Friday against the Lakers, scoring nine points on 4-of-10 shooting (no threes) with one rebound, four assists, and one steal.
It's an awful decision to give him that many minutes, as the Warriors are already short in the backcourt and Robinson adds offense only to give it all back on defense. Mark Jackson appears to be guessing on the job, taking Brandon Rush down to six minutes and giving Ish Smith a DNP-CD. If you want to assume that Robinson is the man now, he's worth a look in 12-team leagues, but the takeaway to us is that Jackson hasn't made up his mind.
