A polished scorer whose best Vols years showed real two-way juice
In the 2016–17 season, Robert Hubbs III was Tennessee’s top perimeter scoring threat, finishing his Vols career with 1,046 points, 375 rebounds, and 127 assists in 106 games while earning All-SEC Second Team honors as a senior[2][9]. He brought shot-making, attacking athleticism, and enough size to guard multiple backcourt spots, but his path also included shoulder surgery and other nagging injuries that interrupted his development[11][13]. If a team wants a mature wing who can score without forcing it and compete through contact, Hubbs was a strong fit; the big question was always health, because the talent was real when his body cooperated[1][11][13].
