Mitchell Robinson, shooting lights-out from close range for Knicks, will grow to expand his game

ATLANTA — It is hard to argue with Mitchell Robinson’s shot selection — a range that extends to about an arms length from the rim — since he has converted 69.9 percent of his shots.

He entered Thursday’s final game before the All-Star break having converted 100 of 135 shots from within three feet. He’s 8-for-20 from three feet to 10 feet and 1-for-1 from beyond 10 feet.

But the Knicks are optimistic that as he goes on he will expand his game — and his range.

“I’m never putting a cap on these guys,” Knicks coach David Fizdale said.
