In this story:


Miami Heat players Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson find themselves in unwanted company entering this season. 

Both were recently placed on the list of overpaid players provided by SportsBrief.com. Robinson checked in at No. 6 while Lowry was right behind at No. 7. 

Lowry will make $29.7 million this season despite losing his starting job to Gabe Vincent, an undrafted player. Lowry had a Hall of Fame career, but is clearly on downside heading into his 18th season. 

Robinson is set to pocket $18.1 million, heading into the third year of a five-year, $90-million deal. Like Lowry, Robinson lost his role in the rotation to Max Strus. This was after Robinson showed so much promise in 2019-20 season when he set the franchise record for 3-pointers made in a season. 

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons topped the list, followed by Bradley Beal (Phoenix Suns) and Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves).
