Nobody expected New York Knicks second-round pick from 2018, Michell Robinson, to be as much of a force as he was on the defensive side of the ball and his rookie season.
The young center has impressed so far in his young career, and bringing in veteran Taj Gibson will only help his development and progression into one of the league’s top big men. Robinson will likely be the starting option at center for the Knicks this year, while Gibson will act as a rotational option and mentor for the youth player.
His progression should be exponential in year two, as Mitchell primarily found himself struggling in foul trouble and biting on fake shots last season.
