Mitchell Robinson continues to stand out as a unique piece in the New York Knicks rotation, largely because of the big impact he can have without having the ball in his hands, as James L. Edwards III of The Athletic notes.
While opponents are well aware of his limited offensive range, Robinson consistently finds ways to impact games by dominating the offensive glass and creating extra possessions in both the regular season and the playoffs.
Edwards suggests the big man’s resurgent presence could be just behind slowing down the scouting priorities of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
That level of leverage is a big reason why the Knicks shouldn’t be interested in moving him, even if unrestricted free agency is on the horizon.
His ability to change the course of a game, whether sharing the floor with Towns or anchoring the lineup when the big man is out of All-NBA, gives New York another dimension that could prove vital in a deep postseason run.
Robinson has played 8 seasons for the Knicks. He averaged 7.9 rebounds and 7.6 points in 358 regular season games.
