Mitchell RobinsonMitchell Robinson has watched some playoff games, including those between the Nets and 76ers.
And the Knicks rookie center has decided the Sixers’ Joel Embiid is the center he wants to emulate.
“He’s a competitor. He just goes at it,’’ Robinson said at an autograph appearance Thursday at the NBA Store in Manhattan. “He goes after everyone. No matter who you are, he goes after you. I really like that about him.’’
Robinson recorded a lot of blocked shots this season, but the Knicks didn’t record a lot of wins. The electric “Blocker from The Bayou” thinks their 17-65 record will rise dramatically in 2019-20 as management goes after big names in free agency.
