New York Knicks star center Mitchell Robinson is almost back from his foot injury at an opportune time. The Knicks are a bottom-10 team in the NBA in rebounding. They average the eighth-fewest rebounds per game with 43 RPG. New York also ranks No. 20 in points in the paint allowed per game, conceding 49.7 points.
It is evident that the Knicks need Robinson’s exceptional interior presence to turn that tide. But should the franchise elevate him into the starting lineup to remedy their weaknesses in the paint?
