Pick 36: Knicks Draft Mitchell Robinson - Pg 97-8 - Block Ness Monster catching on

I don't want to be that guy that says I been tryin' to tell ya'll but just read those pre-draft threads, I'm sure I mentioned Mitch more than anyone did.

I want to see him pull off a play like this at least once in his career.

You're just going to have to accept that you're that guy

Mitchell is not as coordinated as David was. Probably the most fluid athlete of any 7 footer ever.

I think Mitchell will be a steal from this draft. If the Knicks get the development right then he has all the tools to become a huge piece for the Knicks moving forward.

He looks terrific. This kid's upside is through the roof; obviously he has to work on getting stronger in the paint so opposing players can't pin him down so often. He also has to improve his overall stamina and conditioning, but he looks like he has the capability of being a very good two way center.

I like the idea of him playing the backup 5 this year and in his limited minutes let him just go nuts out there. I think he'll have his fair share of foul troubles in his rookie year since he tries to swat anything in his direction, but I'd like to see him keep this level f effort up even if he's only getting 15-20 mpg next year.

A frontcourt combination of Knox, Porzingis and Robinson has the chance to be something really special. With Frank in the backcourt, this team has a lot of upside especially defensively. It's a very lengthy and athletic nucleus.

I thought he would be more of a project, but looks like we can plug and play him now. Looks like legit steal in 2nd round.
And Knicks signed him to 3 year deal, witch is great.

Congrats on getting a player, I loved the idea of the celts trading up for him in the first. Can't complain though with Williams dropping to the celts.

Kid looks good and the poster who mentioned David Robertson as a comp I see it also.

It's summer league let a man have his dreams before the crushing reality of the regular season kicks in.
