    Usual, a couple of the interesting points:

    “Teams are swarming him. A higher percentage of his rebounds are contested than any other player in the league, according to the data-tracking tool, Second Spectrum. The trend becomes even more extreme on the offensive end, where 85 percent of his boards come with someone trying to box him out, also the highest figure in the NBA.
    It’d be impressive if he owned rebounding numbers that were merely average, given that he’s wrestling down low more than anyone. Yet, he’s second in the NBA in offensive rebound rate, behind only Memphis Grizzlies strongman Steven Adams.”

    “The Knicks don’t shoot well, and Robinson takes up valuable real estate near the hoop, which clogs up driving lanes, and yet scoring has been no problem when he’s in the game. New York overpowers defenses, gets to the free-throw line often and, thanks to Robinson, leads the NBA in second-chance points.”

    Anyone else notice directly after they played that clip from his post game interview on the broadcast he literally got bodied and started hacking? Me and my homie were dying.

    Then Randle started bricking and everyone was laughing lol. Both of them have been balling though, and it’s nice to not see Randle throw a fit

    Rebounds became what blocks were to him at the beginning of his career. He’s just hyper coordinated as fuck. Also he wants that shit hard

    His contract is looking like incredible value right now if he can stay healthy. He’s been amazing

  5. I am glad this team has Mitch locked in on a very reasonable future on a 4 year deal. He is playing really well and his contract is a good value for the organization.
