https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/mit...Article discusses Robinson’s impact and potential if he can stay on the floor.
I’m in the camp that we have 2 future stars in Barrett and Robinson if developed properly. But the Knicks front office and coaching have to come thru. The goal needs to be to develop these two into stars and maximize their potential by building around them with the right pieces. Shooting, athleticism and defense should be surrounding them and if there’s a player that doesn’t fit that mold, they should be a bench piece or not on the team.
Thanks, very enlightening. I knew Mitch was foul prone, but thats attention grabbing. I wonder if some cross training, as far as footwork wouldnt hurt? Something outside of bball, that would help Mitch do a better job of positioning himself. Is so good at reading his opponents, needs a better read on how to draw fouls instead of getting called for them.

Mitch is a late bloomer....It will take time to develop the necessary NBA IQ needed to dominate on both sides. My worry is the impatient culture of NYC. Somethings can't be rushed.
Mitchell is part of our future core. He just needs to keep working on cutting down on the fouls and even if that means he needs to try to block a few less shots, he impact on defense and offense cannot be undersold. The danger he poses on the lob opens up the lane because his man is going to be hesitant to leave him. We need Mitch on the court more, so hopefully he figures it out.
