While much of the talk surrounding the Knicks this summer has been about first-round pick Kevin Knox, it was a second-round pick who stood out on Thursday.
Mitchell Robinson had 17 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks in the Knicks’ 82-75 loss to Boston in a Las Vegas Summer League first-round playoff game.
The 7-1 Robinson, who did not play basketball in college, was selected by the Knicks in the second round, the 36th overall in this year’s draft.
Knox, who entered the game tied for second in the summer league at 23.3 points per game, finished with 20 points but shot only 5-for-20 from the field.
