Mitchell Robinson gets named to the Summer League First Team

The Knicks may have sputtered at the start of Summer League, but Mitchell Robinson’s streak of providing joy continued unabated, and on Monday the Blockness Monster was named to the 2019 NBA Summer League First Team.

Robinson had no trouble reminding the world why he was one of the breakout rookies of last season, posting overall averages of 25.2 minutes, 13.8 points (29-34 from the field, or 85%), 10.6 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game. He led the Las Vegas Summer League in blocks, was tied for fourth overall in rebounds, and had the best field goal percentage of anyone who took at least 17 shots.
