Recommend reading the whole thing, but here's the TL;DR on Robinson:

But when it comes to exceeding expectations, they can't quite match New York Knicks second-round pick Mitchell Robinson.

Despite a relatively strong projection based on his effective play in the 2016 Nike EYBL, Robinson still leads all rookies on this list by virtue of the best per-minute win percentage for any player in summer league this year. Robinson made 67 percent of his 2-point attempts, pulled down more than a quarter of all available offensive rebounds and swatted one in every seven opponent 2-point attempts. He's the early favorite for steal of the draft.

Here's TL;DR on Knox:

Incidentally, if you're wondering about Robinson's teammate Kevin Knox, his advanced statistics didn't quite match up to the hype he generated in Las Vegas. Because he shot just 17-of-49 (35 percent) on 2-point attempts, Knox's improvement over his projection ranked just 54th of the 93 qualifying players.

good read. mitch can very easily be the steal of the draft, if he gets minutes during the season. likewise some of the hype for knox should be tempered just a bit. his shooting was quite poor and we shouldn't expect him to get to the line as much as he did in sl.

Knox shot 17-of-49 non-threes. That's not good. But he's super young and ridiculously athletic, I'm sure that will work itself out.

Also, seems like no one is figuring the fact that Knox only played half his games/minutes WITH possible PG starter, Frank - and that must have negatively affected his output to a certain extent.
