INDIANAPOLIS – Senior James Robinson was selected as a nominee for the 2016 Allstate National Association of Basketball Coaches Good Works Team as announced by the NABC and Allstate Insurance Company, Wednesday.
Robinson has helped guide Pitt to a 4-1 mark this season averaging 10.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. He has scored in double figures in each of the past two games with a season-best 18 points in the win over Kent State. Robinson also added 10 assists in the win over the Golden Flashes for his second career double-double.
In its fourth year, the Allstate NABC Good Works Team recognizes players at all levels of college basketball who have made outstanding contributions in the areas of volunteerism and civic involvement. From establishing nonprofits that provide youth with the necessary tools to become leaders of tomorrow, to raising awareness around pertinent issues that could save lives, these student-athletes exhibit impeccable leadership skills both on and off the court.
The 154 NABC nominees were submitted by sports information directors and college basketball coaches across the country. From the nominations, a special voting panel, headlined by former Duke University basketball athlete, two-time NCAA champion and seven-time NBA All-Star Grant Hill, will select a 10-member team comprised of five student-athletes from the NCAA Division I level and five student-athletes from Divisions II, III and the NAIA.
Members of the Allstate NABC Good Works Team will be invited by Allstate, an official corporate partner of the NCAA, to the 2016 NABC Convention and 2016 NCAA Men’s Final Four in Houston, where they will participate in a community service project benefitting the city.
