Gotta love these highlight videos of Mitch and Ben Simmons draining long jumpers and 3's 😂
I hate his free throws. Sub 50% incoming. He needs to take them like he means them. He was splashing threes better than the free throws. Somebody needs to tell him that if he hits 65-70% of his free throws and can stay healthy, he could get a very big contract. 48% free throw might not get even him the MLE.
Mitchell Robinson gotta be a Knick for life after that video he posted on IG 😭😭😭
No one should be surprised by Mitch knocking down the mid range or the 3. I have said, I believe twice on the recap, that if you check out his HS school highlights (WHERE THEY DRAFTED HIM FROM) you will see him hitting 3s (easily), which I believe is the mid range jumper in the NBA, and that the only thing I have not seen him do was post up. However, he has been working on his post skills now so that is a good thing. Hopefully, he continues to work more on his post skills.
I don’t mind Mitch working on his 3pt shot. If he can hit a couple every now and then, it opens up the lane for others. What I would really like him to work on is his midrange game and his drop step. Incorporating a jump hook would be invaluable!
Yokabitis? Not too concerned. While I hate to see anyone get injured, he wasn’t making the roster and I don’t think that he ever will.
What I would like to see from Robinson is him being a terror for 5 to 7 minute intervals each quarter and to stay healthy.
Coach Brown should allow Mitch to shoot the mid range because he knocks it down easily. It's another weapon added to the offense. These are the skills I think people just don't realize that Mitch has: He has good hands. He can shoot the mid range with ease, he is fast for a big man taller than 6'11. He can put the ball on the floor, and he is strong.
Troy, you scared the ish outta. me Seeing the words Mitch Robinson and injured in one sentence is enough to trigger my Knicks PTSD.
Proud of what Mitchell Robinson is doing. This is a contract year for him
So if he can improve on his shooting and free throws, teams will take notice and grant him that big payday he deserves.
Mitchrob was a lights out shooter in high-school
Love what's going on with this young Man! Nothing's wrong with him practicing 2's and 3's !!! It's nice to know if he's open long distance he's not afraid to take the shot!!! Because opponents sometimes would lay off Heart because he seems afraid to shoot the 3's. So I like that he has the 3 pointer shot in his arsenal. Keep working on everything young Man!!!
Yo when we blow teams out ⏸️…….., Mitch better let it fly from 3
Not bending his knees on FT
That wasn’t Mitch that was AI 😁
Mitch wanna be a Knick pay him
I’m sorry but his form looks good , could you imagine him and Towns in the starting 5 and both hitting the 3s , wow who do you guard, lol
For 7 years Mitch had 0 offensive improvements. Now that he is going to be a FA, he is doing this for the bag 💰 Don’t be fooled bro.
His form is still terrible. Not sure why you’re saying it’s good form.
With thibs gone why not. I think a lot of Knicks players will play better with thibs gone. Want a bet
Mitchy in the lab putting in work!
I told everyone he's going to be a problem
He's going be east if he due this
Lock in
Mitch been practicing on his threes for years now how people don’t know this
I hope Mitchell Robinson focuses mostly on Free Throw, Mid-range & Short-range shooting to become an elite NBA Center.
Maybe layoff on the 3 point shooting a bit.
Leon Rose always has a backup plan if any Knicks player gets injured. He can find other talented players somewhere like KAT last season.
Mitch wants to improve and is working his tail off. He’s a pro and wants to win. Big respect there. And there’s that contract looming in his future. Mitch wants to maximize his value.
He doing it because it's contract year.
It's sad on a personal level about the torn ACL. As for Knicks basketball it's not significant . We shouldnt want that for anyone , even our opponents .
Mich in the lab like a mad scientist bro!!! 🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Let's go Mitch! Keep up that Work!!!
Its because we have a new coach. When Thibs first became coach…he used to tweet complaining about his role and how he has more to his game. He mentioned how Thibs wouldn't let him play his game. Now that Mike Brown is coach I bet we will see a different version of him. Watch his high school highlights he has way more to his game than he has been playing.
I love Mitch and of course it’s about time we have a coach that will develop his offensive game. Although he doesn’t have to become the focal part of our offense, if his shooting improves it adds greater diversity to the Knicks offense and improves his opportunity to earn more in his next contract. Kudos to Mitchell Robinson the most tenured Knick and always a keeper. Stay healthy Mitch, you’re in line for your best season ever with Coach Brown at the helm. Let’s do it!!!
SOMEONE TELL MITCHELL ROBINSON TO BEND HIS KNEES MORE WHEN HE IS SHOOTING FREE THROWS
If Mitch can make 2 threes a game he would change our starting lineup for the better
Mitch always works hard b4 the season starts… always shoots the 3 and hits foul shots at a good clip. When the season starts he complains about wanting a role in the offense but only looks to pass when he gets touches. He puts in the work, but he's not assertive when he gets a chance to show what he can do. So yeah he looks good, but this is nothing new from Mitch!! JB has to reward his big man. Coach needs a couple of set plays for Mitch and that would help his confidence and expand his offense bc we know he can do much better.
He should've been working on his game, esp free throws ..so no praise from me
he shot threes in high school
I pray that "no arc" becomes "some arc" this season. We are going to need him. Finally, a coaching staff that understands teaching free throw technique. Can't wait for the season to start.
Robinson is one hell of a rim protector maybe not a great shooter, but a great rebounder .
why didnt he do this the past couple of years
