no. most elite ones are not JUST on cleanup duty.
The guy has played one game in 17 months!!! You really think he is an elite big man?
i want him to be an elite big man. hence the suggestion that we run plays for him? are you dense?

Not too early. I know how James Bond movies are going to end. I know how Knick games and seasons are going to end.

So far Frank and Robinson and Troy show...Knox chipping in but yet to make a sweet looking shot.

Dude, you have to crawl before you can walk. You want one game in 17 months Mitchell Robinson to be Dirk? I am more realistic. I just want to see if he can dribble a ball.

You missed Knox from 10 feet out consistently missing the hoop.
He's making a habit of that.

What system were you expecting the Knicks to have in place after a handful of practices with a bunch of new guys? Summer league is basically glorified street ball. Give it some time.
the knicks lineup on the floor right now is...who's signing in the g-league this year...minus troy williams

Got it, thanks. Looks like the bench lineup is getting some minutes in right now... can't wait to see the SL starters pick up where they left off
I agree, want to see some Knox long bombs in this game. Want that all-around athleticism PLUS the range

Funny, my brother said that this afternoon to me. I argued back that it may be so...but it's street ball being played by some high caliber talent.
That's why I love it.

Guards gave Ochefu the ball on the block...why not Robinson? Just want to see him on the block once to see what happens...whether he has any post moves or not. Not asking for it to be every play jeezz.

What the hell is wrong with being an old school big man? You know, hang down low, block shots and pile up points on the put-backs. This Robinson can be that. Big guy who stays put. Why do we want to turn him into Pete Maravich?

Not bad for that style of play, no?

Maybe that's not in his toolbox yet. As others have mentioned, he hasn't played competitively in over of year. What's wrong with letting him develop slowly? Focus on what he
can do now, develop other aspects of his game in practice versus national tv.
