Mitchell Robinson sets lofty blocks goal as Knicks role grows

Knicks rookie center Mitchell Robinson believes he can deliver a half-dozen bagels — rather blocks — with starter’s minutes.

As the second-round pick’s game grows during this Knicks season of auditions, so does Robinson’s cockiness.

“Probably around six,’’ Robinson said when asked about how many blocks he thinks he can average. “I feel like I can do around six.’’

Robinson is coming off a 15-point, 14-rebound, five-block performance in 30 minutes in Sunday’s victory over San Antonio that prevented the Knicks from matching an NBA record for consecutive home losses. Robinson has the numbers — and unique game — to back up his boast.
