The New York Knicks found a gem of a second-round draft pick in center Mitchell Robinson. Selected at No. 36 overall, Robinson has quickly developed into one of the most feared rim protectors that the NBA has to offer.
Still just 22 years of age, it’s fair to state that Robinson is as close to an untouchable as any player who’s currently on the Knicks’ roster.
Former team president Steve Mills reportedly proved as much at the 2020 NBA trade deadline. It’s unclear how close to a trade the Knicks actually were, but it appears as though Mills refused to include Robinson when negotiating for a superstar in their prime.
