New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson is proving the doubters that he deserved every penny of his four-year, $64 million extension he received this past offseason.
While he does not score 30+ points a game nor shoot three-pointers, he provides a tremendous impact in one grand department that has been a major factor in the Knicks’ successful season thus far: rebounding.
In New York’s 112-108 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday, Robinson recorded a double-double, snagging 18 rebounds – eight of them offensive – and scoring 10 points to help the Knicks secure their fourth consecutive victory to improve to 22-18 as the season approaches the halfway mark.
