The New York Knicks had an opportunity this off-season to secure a long-term solution at center but instead retained Nerlens Noel and committed to Mitchell Robinson for one more season.
Some might say this is a risky move, considering Robinson played in just 31 games last year and Noel doesn’t offer much does an offensive weapon. However, the team is still optimistic Mitch will reach his potential. Ultimately, the consensus is that they would hate for him to find his groove with another team when he’s only set to earn $1.8 million this year.
In fact, the front office seems so invested in Robinson and confident in his abilities, they are already open to extending him before the next off-season rolls around.
