They never mention Mitchell Robinson as part of our young talent. They usually only mention Knox and Dennis Smith when every Knick fan knows Robinson is by far and away the best prospect we have on this team.
If there was a redraft, I have a hard time believing Mo Bamba would've been selected over Money Mitch. I can't think of anything Bamba does better than him (maybe shoot from the perimeter?)
I expect Mitchell to garner consideration for one of the All NBA defensive teams next season and I fully expect him to be in contention for DPOY before he's 25. This kid's ceiling is whatever he wants it to be.
Two way Amare
After those injuries in Phoenix, Amar'e really worked on his midrange game and became automatic from around 15-17 ft. If Mitchell ever develops any type of jumper/floater/postgame, he'll be the alpha dog on this team for a long time.
Surveying the landscape of Centers in the league, I don't know if there's any big more athletic than him (that alley oop dunk when he contorted his body in mid air last second and did a 180 alley oop is a great example,) and I also don't know any big that has his motor. That motor of his is what really stands out to me. He just doesn't give up on plays regardless of how futile the outcome may be.
