Let's hope so. But he has to remain healthy and show more intensity and focus.

The one common factor that most DPOY players (especially front court players) share is that they were very very durable in their prime. Mutombo, Ben Wallace, Rodman, Bobby Jones, Bill Russell, etc. all rarely ever missed games nor were they injured for long periods of time in their prime years. Every one of these guys took extreme care of their bodies. Mitch hasn't shown that durability to say the least. Part of it very well could be work ethic.

Jesus Christ just stop it. Enough with these piece together narratives. Mitch had two injuries last yr. He hurt his hand while getting tangled up with Randle. It was nothing more than a bad break that wouldn't have happened if he weren't hustling for the ball. Then he came back and just happened to land on someone's foot causing him to break his own foot. These are event based chitty luck situations. Tragedies is probably the better word. You can't always explain everything.

When Mitch is on the floor he's our best defender by a large margin and one of the leagues best defenders. Last time I checked anybody can score, it's defense that proves you put in effort. Stop with the effort questions. Immature? OK to a certain extent but there's nothing he's done on the court that would indicate he doesn't put in effort. Fans are seemingly butthurt because of his choice of agent........for some odd dumb reason. Idc, it's an offcourt business decision. He could change agents every yr he's in the league it should have zero influence on what we feel about his game but I get it. We've all been conditioned to read tabloids and focus on everything around the actual game since 1999 cause that was the only thing to talk about. Meanwhile Noel is suing the agent Mitch last fired and people still holding it against Mitch. Just stop

Mitch might win DPOY, last year he led the league in defensive BPM and was 2nd in defensive rating and block percentage and was the only player in the nba to average more than 2 blocks and more than 1 steal per game. I guess that’s why they signed him to a 3 year deal this off-season. Oh wait all that was Nerlens. Mitch was busy shooting 40% from the free throw line and getting his truck modified so he can roll coal on whoever is behind him in the Burger King drive thru. He plays fortnite all night too.

So we have (2) potential DPOY candidates on our squad. One will start the other will come off the bench. That should be some pretty nice defensive coverage for 48 minutes.....looking forward to it.

MAGA Mitch will build a defensive wall around the hoop that will make the Knicks great again!

It's good he rejected the MAFTA* agreement to focus on his defensive wall!

Who cares if Mitch hit's 3's? That's Euro ball for foreigners! NBA always weak to adopt it. What percentage are the foreigners contributing to the NBA? Not enough Mitch says! Mitch plays AMERICAN basketball. Power dunks!

COULD BE. Are you Mitch's agent? His dad? Little brother? BFF? I get it, you want to really believe the good. I hope that's right.

But honestly, why do you guys always do this to yourself? Setup crazy expectations and then flip and pummel the guy if/when he can't live up to it. You guys have any clue on how hard it is to win a DPOY?

And I'm the guy with the "pieced together" narratives. They freaking guy is just 22 and is coming off an injury plagued season. Looking like a Beast? Everybody can be made to look like a beast in highlight vids. If "looking like a Beast" is a portent of eliteness then we just drafted a future HOF in the bottom of the 2nd round.

But ok...why stop at DPOY? Keep going guys.

His injuries were freakish tho. Its not like a frank or AD, Kyrie where they always have something that’s sore or bruised and have to sit and miss a bunch a games throughout the season. Mitch was just unfortunate last season.

Yes the injuries, knock on wood, hasn't been recurring (in the sense that it's the same part of the body) but it has happened a lot and it COULD BE related to how he trains and prepares himself. I had mentioned before the season that Robinson looked a little out of shape. Then he gets injured and comes back and is injured again. That really was my point that based on perceived oddball behavior like switching agents and what happened before he was drafted mixed with the injuries. That's where I'm coming from.

All jokes aside, he does have DPOY candidate potential. Def needs to stay healthy and stay focused as others mentioned. It was a tough year for Mitch. Was it all just bad luck or more of a pattern? Hard to say for sure but another year to see if Mitch can make a leap. At this point gotta ride with Mitch and hope it all clicks.

Moo, you know Kicks fans want to find somebody to stan and are hoping it's this weirdly good shot blocking kid. It's been so long since we had real heroes around here. So that's probably why we build up a player and then tear him down when he isn't DPOW, DPOM, and DPOY. LOL

Mitch's injuries were freakish and not related to having a poorly constructed body. It reminds me of the buy who skateboards all over creation and winds up crashing and breaking bones a few times a year. Mitch isn't poorly constructed, but he is a bit of a daredevil who sets himself up for getting dinged. I'm sure they're going to tell him that he shouldn't try to leap tall buildings at a single bound when not wearing his Superman cape.
