Obviously to be taken with a grain of salt do to his competition level. But I’m very impressed with how fluid his movements look and his overall coordination level for being so long. Very excited to see his role next year and if he can into a rim running lob catcher for us because mans can jump out the gym. Not to mention he may be able to have an nba caliber mid range jumper if not gain the ability to knock down the open 3 when forced to.

Agreed, his shooting looks good for a big and the confidence to hit 3s even in a league where he is twice the size of his competition is a plus
5
His defense is definitely ahead of his offense in these clips.
He will be very intimidating near the basket.
8
If he does closely compare to Whiteside, a front court of him and KP will be dominating
5
His athleticism and physical tools resemble an Anthony Davis more than a Whiteside. Robinson can stretch it quite a bit, handle the ball in the break, quick on his feet. Don't think his offense will be half as good as AD realistically but his defensive potential is massive with the right coaching. I can see his potential to guard 4's with his stronger close out ability while KP guards 5's.

That's a big comparison but I'll take it. Really small sample size but I like that his highlights show takes outside the paint, ability to run the floor and ball/body control not normal for a player his size. Said it before but really looking forward to him putting it all together at Summer league. Always a big Knox fan and more than happy to jump on the Robinson hype train

The more I see of this kid the more I like him. Really looking forward to seeing him at summer league
6
He clearly has the tools.
Now its in our coaches hands to get the most out of him.
4
How is he a Center again? Moves like a SF/ PF.
3
would we be cool with kp at the 4 and robinson at the 5 long term or no?
2
It's hard to say until he shows his current skills but based on the potential he has physically and previously shown that would be ideal. Both able to space the floor and compliment each other both ends of the court
2
They need to have the ability to switch.
KP isn't nimble enough to follow stretch 4s out and guard them effectively on the perimeter, so that would have to be something that Robinson can do full time before they'd be able to play big minutes together.
Otherwise, teams will just go small and play Robinson off the floor.

God damn I feel bad for these poor kids. He's straight up playing a different game than them he's so much better. Like, TF are these kids going to do to stop him?
2
He’s so quick for a guy that size. Imagine he really learns how to put the ball in the floor? Robinson could be what people hoped thon maker could be.
2
I know I’m being a homer but I feel like I’m watching Anthony Davis jr..
1
He moves like a small forward

Still really iffy on him. He's going to be a big project for sure.

I can't believe he fell to us.
Never thought I'd say this but kudos deserved to the FO. People bring up the MPJ pick but it's looking like we've added two solid pieces with plenty of upside. Definite BPAs
MPJ seems kinda dumb tbh. I was really into the idea of him if he fell, but then he opened his mouth and said a bunch of dumb shit. Then there's the back issues that can plague him for his entire career. I'm all about taking on high upside guys regardless of their present level, but there's just so much that could go wrong with him. Even if he gets past the back issues, I can totally see him as a guy that will always put up his numbers at the expense of team success. It's just really not worth it for me.
I think Robinson has ridiculous upside, especially for where he was drafted. The fact that he's so long, athletic, and has shown some other skills like shooting shows that he could be more than just a diet DeAndre Jordan. I can see why people are more excited than him than Knox. He's totally one of the leading candidates of players that other teams will say "fuck, we should've drafted him."
MPJ should've gone to Phoenix with the personality he's shown. I agree at this point with our team the main focus should be upside and these kids really have it. Don't discount Knox, now that he has been selected as a lottery pick the onus is on him to perform but I said it to you earlier this year, he has Jabari/Durant raw talent and it shows despite his short playing career. With Robinson, he has everything lined up for him now. Glad that he wasn't drafted in the spotlight as it should give him the chance to skip the pressure and turn heads. His size and athleticism are one thing but if he has put in work like suggested then I think we're right to be hyped AF for his potential
Oh no I love Knox, it's just crazy to me that we got a guy in the second round who is about as exciting as our lottery pick. I think that we're a great fit for him as well. We got a lot of developmental guys and not super high expectations so I think he'll adjust fine. Summer League can't come fast enough.
I have seems a few sites try and kill us for the pick, whether they say they are confused by the pick or upset by it..i think people put too much into the mock drafts and I’m glad the Knicks apparently made their own ranking system. In a few months there will be plenty of “redraft” and will prove the scouts got it wrong for the most part...again
