The New York Knicks have battled through the NBA Summer League to a 1-3 record so, with their lone win being last Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. By far the greatest surprise of the summer thus far has been the outstanding play by their two 2018 draft picks.
The ninth pick, Kevin Knox, and the 36th pick, Mitchell Robinson, have exceeded expectations as the Knicks prepare to finish off their Summer League slate on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Drafted for his pure athleticism and upside as a rim-protector and floor-runner, Robinson has been a revelation for New York over the past week.
