They are already that...primarily due to their "lovable" fanbase.

For OG he did parts of practice and took some contact but not much yet..

On Mitch:

Ian Begley
@IanBegley
Mitchell Robinson (foot) has made progress in practice, has been able to do ‘quite a bit’, Tom Thibodeau said. Robinson is not doing 5-on-5 scrimmaging yet, Thibodeau said

James L. Edwards III
@JLEdwardsIII
Thibs when asked if New York not adding a center says something about how they feel about Mitch: "You read the tea leaves," he said with a smile

Looks this is a Thibs call. Smh.

Dude loves his one dimensional centers.

We desperately need that one dimension.

Mitch is not nearly as one dimensional as Sims was. Mitch can score around the basket pretty well with congestion . Sims can only score when he is basically by himself under the basket or on an alley oop.

Mitch with all the scoring options around him we have is most definitely playable.

We made the playoffs under Thibs with a lineup of:

Mitchell
Randle
Bullock
RJ Barrett
Elfrid Payton

And this teams defense was the main reason.

Imagine.....

Mitchell
KAT
OG
Bridges
Brunson

Light years better....

Mitchell = Mitchell
KAT >> Randle
OG >> Bullock
Bridges > Barret
Brunson >>> Payton

Offensive reboounding - Elite
Rim Protection Elite
Lob Threat - Elite
Shot Blocking - near Elite

Thats four dimensions right there

Minutes played with Mitchel Robinson...

Brunson - 2,749 minutes
Hart - 1,608 minutes
Mcbride - 1,257 minutes

OG - 204 minutes

Precious - 154 minutes

KAT - 0 minutes
Bridges - 0 minutes
Payne - 0 minutes
Shamet - 0 minutes

Mitch has logged the most minutes with the starters, but will likely be coming off the bench. He has no chemistry at all with the bench. This will be a work in progress.

Mitch
Precious
Huk

Boy, the Knicks really committed to NOT playing 5 out

Too bad too, it is a scintillating brand of basketball
