Had he gone to college - quite possibly a top 10 pick. Has the skills. Great pick! Patience is now the key

Mitchell Robinson sounds as dim as Derrick Rose, LOL. Sounds like he had no sleep.

Let him play, always. NEVER let him interview.

Anyway, we got ourselves a chill type of player! :llol:
Those last 70 seconds, Randle in a nut shell.

Awful 2 for 1 3PT attempt when we are up 2
Doesn’t close out on Sabonis --> open 3
Takes another side step off balance 3

We got sucked into the Randle vortex where all good feelings go to die.

He said he wants to bring a ring and he's a committed player..... maybe he mumbles but has the right message.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

His primary skill is having a name Clyde can pronounce exactly right

I think he had a pro day workout, which we probably went to. He wasn't supposed to be on the board and I think that threw a few teams off. Lakers tried to be cute.

Not trying to hate on the kid but sometimes the difference is between the ears. I mean he was a top recruit in the conversation with Bamba, Ayton, Carter, Bagley but he made poor decisions

I could care less about him being socially awkward as long as his priorities are right.

The key takeaway is when asked what he needed to work on he didn't have to think about it since he had already sorted that out: strength and footwork

Similar to Kornet. Another project that will see 4-7 min when the Knicks are winning and 15 min when the Knicks are getting crushed.
