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?

Mitch is gangly and has a strong base. He's anchoring arguably the best defense in the NBA right now.

#2 Defensive Rating

#1 in Opponent 2nd Chance Points, a full 2 points better than the 2nd best team in this category.

#3 in Opponent Points off TOV

#1 in Defensive Rebounding %

#4 in Opponent Points in the Paint, essentially tied with Minnesota for 3rd.

#2 in Offensive Rebounding. Mitchell Robinson alone as a player is #1 in Offensive Rebounding with 6.3 a game. He's a full 2 offensive rebounds a game above the #2 player.

Still early in the season and a lot of the individual stats point to Gobert having a great season, but Mitch has been underrated.
