Mitchell Robinson stood on business.
After downplaying the Wembanyama matchup by stating that he’s not worried it’s an archetype of player that he has faced before (Porzingis, Bol Bol), Mitchell Robinson stuck to his word and held Victor to 0-6 shooting as his primary defender. The most anyone has shot on Mitch this season without making a FG.
Mitchell Robinson has been the Knicks best player this season and is the major reason the Knicks have had a top 2 defense to start the year.
If he keeps it up so you think Mitchell Robinson could get DPOY consideration?
I noticed wemby took a few shots that he normally makes around the rim due to his height advantage but he couldn’t do it against mitch at all. On the other hand he had a few open looks from 3 that just didn’t go down. Hartenstein played great defense too. Knicks were very physical with him
