Rookie center Mitchell Robinson continues to prove to teammates and the Knicks coaching staff he’s not raw and he’s not a project.
It’s too early to label him the steal of the 2018 draft after being taken by the Knicks at No. 36 overall in the second round, but it may go down that way.
During Monday’s media day, guard Trey Burke said Robinson was a “young Shaquille O’Neal, just skinnier.”
“It’s a great compliment, but I’m just here to be me,” said Robinson, a man of few words.
