Glenn Robinson III knows he has a stellar NBA career in front of him.

The rookie swingman said he feels it during pregame workouts and at practice with the 76ers. He visualizes it when he studies film of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, players he wants to emulate. His motivation to be the best came from being waived by the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 5.

“I learned a lot in regards to how tough and how strong I am” while he waited for a chance to play, said Robinson, who was selected 40th overall by the Timberwolves last June after his sophomore year at Michigan.

“I try not to pay attention to that and still keep pushing,” he said. “I still believe that one day I’m going to be one of the best players in this league. I have no doubt about that.”
