Knicks · Some Mitch Robinson Love (page 1)

This picture really sums it up but also leads me to more questions. I know Robinson really stepped up in the playoffs, he was unstoppable in what he does, but he was really good in the regular season as well. Still, he gets no defensive team/ DPOY love or recognition as one of the better centers in the league. Mobley and Allen are considered top 50 players, among the top bigs in the league outside of the superstars. Mobley was a DPOY runner up and never seemed to impact the series defensively in any way. He wasn’t a major rim protector and got pushed around by Randle and Mitch. He also had no impact on offense. This is a guy who is currently listed as the 36th best player in the league on the Ringer player ranking (Allen is 52.) Mitch is outside of the top 100. I know these lists aren’t the end-all be-all, but how does a player dominate so much and how do these supposed top tier guys look so overmatched? Mitch just seems in a different weight class than these guys both literally and figuratively. Never in the series was I worried about Allen or Mobley having any sort of real impact. I only saw Mitchell and garland as threats. And maybe I have a short memory but I don’t remember it being any different in the regular season either.

Look at the offensive numbers side and you see why they are ranked higher. Look back to game two and how Allen and Mobley on offense worked. The Defense was pretty good too, Knicks countered and Cav's could not.
Look at his FT% and that he gets pulled from games for iHart.
You saw a 5 game match up were Mitch did great and your asking the questions. You not incorrect, but your asking "Why".
Win or lose if Mitch continues to impress you'll see his cred go up with media. Knicks Cred has because they are beat a higher seed and earned its 5th seed.
Mitches Trade value also goes up. Im not looking to deal him but if a Luka or Giannis shakes loose it could matter. Milwaukee can retool and get younger with a Knicks deal. Dallas loses Kyrie We could give them three starters-Randle, Mitch and IQ and their pick back.
ALl I said was "could". Not should.
Mitch is on a really nice contract.
TO his credit Mitch found his man strength and has really done well! His rise helps on the court and as a trade asset if need be.
Im showing him love.

Knicks would never get this in return but Mitch is probably worth more than the 4 FRPs the Wolves paid for Gobert.
