Mitchell Robinson

His career path to the NBA was notably unconventional. Before being drafted, Robinson gained significant attention for withdrawing from his commitment to Western Kentucky University. He chose instead to train independently for the entire 2017-18 season, a decision that made him the first high-profile player to forgo college basketball in this manner to prepare for the draft.

Recently, Robinson has been featured in sports news headlines. These have included discussions about the Knicks' strategic use of his skills as part of their long-term team planning. His performance has also made him a frequent subject in game previews and analyses for specific matchups, such as a recent game against the Dallas Mavericks, and he is often highlighted in player prop bets for his consistent statistical contributions.
