Last month, Nike added Robinson to its elite cadre of NBA clientele, inking the Knicks rookie to a contract. Sneaker and apparel companies typically target guards and wings, and top draft picks, as they tend to sell more merchandise. It’s relatively uncommon for a basketball behemoth such as Nike to sign a center that was recently selected in the second round.

However, Robinson’s exciting brand of ball, brimming with breathtaking blocks and jaw-dropping alley-oops, appeals to consumers. Of course, playing in the media capital of the world, and for a team with a rabid fanbase, certainly doesn't hurt.

Robinson has also recently signed endorsement contracts with RX Water and Mercedes-Benz of Paramus, and is a brand ambassador for Cambria Suites.

This is awesome. Well deserved!

What about Kevin Knox who looks like trash in his first season?

Not to mention look at the players taken 10-30. None of them are beasting and were obvious picks over Knox at the time. People can poo poo Knox all they want, when Perry finds gems in Trier and Robinson with just one second round pick between them, he deserves credit.

You mean the guy that's only 1 month older than Cam Reddish and younger than several of the top lottery picks this year? He looks fine for such a young rookie, he shows flashes of what he can become and struggles in other games, what exactly were you expecting from the 9th pick who happens to be one of the youngest players in the league?

Honestly, it's more important to hit on lottery picks when you're there because that's typically the place for potential high end talent (allstars and superstars). It's early but Knox screams mediocre to me.

Did you know Knox is the only rookie since LeBron to put up 25 points and 15 rebounds in the a game?

Of course it is better to hit on the lotto picks, but hindsight actually works in Perry's favor, unlike it did the year prior when they took Frank over Mitchell and even DSJ. Knox is super, super young and he has a lot of work to do, but he has shown flashes. Bottom line, Perry deserves an immense amount of credit signing Trier who wasn't even drafted and plucking Robinson in the 2nd round when he has played like a top 5 lotto pick for a good 5 weeks now.

This guy reminds me of former Net Sean Williams, let's just hope he has a better career trajectory.

What happened?

Since when did Hassan Whiteside suck?

--Mags

Since he started playing in the NBA. Not a player you want on your team despite the stats. He's lost his job to Bam Adebayo.

It looks like MRob fell because of his changing his mind on going to college and then changing his mind on the NBA combines. Those decisions cost him. Who knows what's going on inside his head?

Don't bother, no one watches the Knicks except us Knick fans, they see the word 'Knicks' and just start making generalized statements devoid of any actual facts or information.

PRETTY MUCH , if we ever make a post about one of our players as soon as the word knicks appear. Herd mentality kicks in and same ole knicks fan blah blah blah as if people who live or far from NY are genetically different from others... We are not allowed to speak unless we are bashing our own team.

The fact Mitchell Robinson is playing better than Mo bamba clearly has no relevancy because the word knicks appeared.

Knox is the 2nd youngest player in the NBA

As far as Robinson goes, he a home grown kid from the big easy. If the Knicks want Davis guess who going back home?

And he has arguably been the worst player in the NBA this year. So one game or one season, I guess it must be one of those philosophical question as to what you give more weight.

I still like Frank, especially as a 2-guard who just has to shoot open shots and play defense. Knox has shown more offensive potential than Frank, they are two different players with two different expectations around them, I don't get why people want Knick fans to be down on our players. We have some nice prospects, Robinson, Smith, Dotson and Knox are very nice young players, and I'm not going to give up on Frank anytime soon........so.........

I think you say there's a chance he gets better - a game like that shows he has a lot of good tools - but he damn sure sucks now.

He's a good shotblocker, but he's awful otherwise. Let's hope he improves, because he's one of the most undisciplined players I have ever seen. Jumps at everything.

To be fair, he is only twenty.
