9.2 points per game. 8.4 rebounds. 0.5 assists.
Those are Mitchell Robinson’s stats, and at first sight most casual fans or those who don’t watch the Knicks may look at that line and think he’s just another hustling rim-runner who lacks an offensive game and lacks potential. But those who have watched Robinson and the Knicks will know that with him, the numbers do not tell the whole story.
Drafted in the second round, Robinson flew under the radar on draft night but his athleticism and length, along with his insane natural ability and sense of shot blocking, was intriguing for many teams.
