Hawks Strengthen Back Court With Justin Robinson

The Illawarra Hawks have strengthened their back court with the signing of Justin Robinson for the 2022/23 season.

Robinson joins the Hawks following three years in the NBA, playing for the Washington Wizards, Oklahoma City Thunder, Detroit Pistons, and Sacramento Kings. Most notably, appearing for the 2021-22 defending NBA champions the Milwaukee Bucks.

Robinson attended Virginia Tech from 2015 to 2019, becoming the all-time leader in assists with 562 for his collegiate career.

The point guard is excited to be joining the NBL, and the Illawarra Hawks on their championship quest.

“I feel the NBL is a great league and is now becoming more global. The league itself will allow me to continue to showcase who I am on and off the court.”

“Illawarra has been right on the doorstep of winning an NBL Championship the last couple of years and my goal is to add to the winning culture. Coach Jackomas has something special brewing and I’m excited to be a part of it,” Robinson said.

Illawarra Hawks Head Coach Jacob Jackomas is excited for the 24-year-old to join his squad.

“Justin is a great ball defender, key facilitator and most importantly a scorer.”

“We’re excited for the dynamic point guard to join our back court and believe he will complement Tyler Harvey, making them a formidable duo,” Jackomas said.

Robinson joins Tyler Harvey, Sam Froling, Daniel Grida, Alex Mudronja, Akoldah Gak, Wani Swaka Lo Buluk, Deng Deng, Lachlan Dent, Mangok Mathiang and George King on the Illawarra Hawks 2022/23 roster.
