Mitchell Robinson did something new this offseason, starting a farm, eating "fresh, organic, stuff like that." Perhaps that had something to do with his dominant performance in the New York Knicks' first half of their first preseason game against the Sixers on Thursday. He played 18 minutes, finishing with 16 rebounds, nearly averaging a rebound per minute.
Robinson ended the playoffs in the starting lineup, and he began the preseason as a starter, with Josh Hart coming off the bench. One of the reasons to start him alongside Karl-Anthony Towns is because of his rebounding, and he feasted.
