Duncan Robinson's contract with the Detroit Pistons is graded as a F CVI. At $16.8M per year, the team is currently paying more than the on-court production warrants — a gap that needs to close for this deal to work out. Duncan's current production grades out in the middle of the pack among NBA small forwards. His $16.8M average annual value ranks as mid-tier money for the small forward market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — the team is paying a premium above the player's on-court value. At 32, Duncan is on the back end of his prime — the contract value depends on how well he maintains production as age-related decline typically accelerates. The 3-year contract represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.
