Ian Begley: Mitchell Robinson has tied Patrick Ewing for the Knicks’ franchise rookie record for consecutive games with a block. Robinson, the Knicks’ 2018 second-round pick, has blocked a shot in 28 straight games.
Adam Zagoria: Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson has signed an endorsement deal with Mercedes-Benz, per source. MBZ has deals with Yankees Manager Aaron Boone and some Yankees players, but Robinson will be the 1st Knicks player to form a strategic partnership with the luxury automotive brand
Let’s imagine Mitchell Robinson wasn’t so foul-happy. Let’s say he mastered the subtleties of defending, on top of his obvious talents for its more brutal elements, and stayed on the floor for more than 30 minutes per game. How many blocks could the center average? “Probably around six,” Robinson said. “I feel like I can do around six.”
The problem is that along with the blocks come an equal helping of fouls. Robinson can’t stop fouling, and therefore is subject to shorter minutes. But Robinson has improved in that department in February, motivated partially to avoid coach David Fizdale’s punishment of pushups for fouling. “I’m putting my hands up more, you know,” Robinson said. “Since me and coach got that thing going on where if I get in foul trouble, I got to do push ups — I don’t really like doing push ups. So I try to stay out of foul trouble as much as I can.”
