His trainer Marcell Scott can now laugh at the notion of Knicks 7-foot center Mitchell Robinson getting seasoning in the G-League as a rookie.
“I knew once they saw Mitchell on the court and saw all the stuff he brings to the table, the G-League would be eliminated from the conversation,’’ Scott told The Post in a phone interview. “I honestly think at the halfway mark, at the All-Star break, Mitch will be starting.’’
Scott, the mastermind behind Robinson’s long preparation for the NBA draft, was surprised by everything — and nothing — regarding Robinson’s stunning Las Vegas act three weeks ago at the nationally televised summer league.
