Miami Heat sign undrafted big Orlando Robinson
The Miami Heat have signed undrafted center Orlando Robinson to an Exhibit-10 contract, the team announced Thursday. That means he will now have a chance to compete for a two-way spot — currently held by Mychal Mulder and Javonte Smart — in training camp.
It’s an Exhibit 10 for center Orlando Robinson, who went undrafted out of Fresno State. Robinson will have a chance to compete for one of the Heat’s two-way contracts this offseason/training camp.
