Mitchell Robinson is an unreal athlete, man. Dude can’t even walk without limping, and is blocking KD’s unblockable midrange jumper – 2:02 PM

Jericho Sims is gonna be really good. If Mitchell Robinson signs elsewhere next season, Sims could be NYK’s center of the future. – 1:42 PM

Mitchell Robinson in the third quarter:
11 rebounds, six offensive rebounds, 4 blocks, four assists.
He’s been handling Steven Adams. – 9:40 PM

Mitchell Robinson has 11 rebounds. No Grizzlies starter has more than four right now. Not the kind of numbers you usually see with the Grizzlies. – 9:39 PM

More on this storyline
It is unclear whether center Nerlens Noel will play again. He has been shut down with plantar fasciitis and didn’t sit on the bench at Dallas or Sacramento. Noel has played in just 25 games in a train wreck of a season, a crash that puts the pressure on team president Leon Rose to lock up Robinson early if he can. -via New York Post / March 11, 2022
Scotto: I spoke to five NBA executives, and I asked them what in their mind is Mitchell Robinson’s projected free agency value as of today? According to those executives, his worst-case scenario is the non-taxpayer mid-level exception, but generally, the projected range for him is between $12-13 million annually, which would be more than what Nerlens Noel got previously in free agency with the Knicks. Most executives think with the Knicks having Robinson’s Bird Rights, most around the league don’t see him walking for nothing. -via HoopsHype / March 10, 2022
Scotto: One executive told me, “I think the Knicks re-sign him and maybe overpay to do so to keep him as an asset. It’ll be a tough negotiation given what they gave Nerlens Noel.” Another executive said, “He’s talented as a rim protector and elite on the offensive glass. He’s good offensively in the dunker area, and he can finish at a high clip, but he has no perimeter game and has a bit of an injury history.” -via HoopsHype / March 10, 2022
