The New York Knicks might be smart to draft a center in next week’s NBA Draft.
Don’t get me wrong. Mitchell Robinson played well in extended minutes last year and has loads of potential. The problem, of course, is his health. He’s never played a full season and, most recently, was limited to 31 games thanks to hand and foot injuries.
Not to mention, suppose Robinson is moved in a trade for Damian Lillard? Furthermore, Nerlens Noel played well in Robinson’s absence and led the league in defensive box plus/minus (DBPM).
This year’s NBA Draft doesn’t offer much in terms of bigs, but a select few set themselves apart.
