Robinson is by far the best player not named Porzingis the team drafted this decade, and they stole him in the 2nd round.

Robinson is currently holding the single-season record with 74 FG%. He also leads the league in TS% and Offensive Rating. He's 21 years old. How is that possible? He dunks a staggering 62% of his shots (probably an NBA record). He averages a dunk every 7 minutes.
Robinson is 0-2 from mid-range in two seasons. He’s not a shooter. He’s modern Tyson Chandler/DeAndre Jordan.
The reason 2K gave him shooting ratings? Robinson skipped college. Scouts had no footage and this made him difficult to evaluate beyond loose reports. He was a relative enigma (which is how he slipped in the first place). With that said, presuming a raw second round center would be a decent NBA shooter was a stupid decision. Fast forward two years, their highly advanced methodology of copy/pasting into Excel has failed them (no sample means no change).
DEFENSE
72 Defensive Rebound (-7)
75 Interior Defense (-9)
70 Perimeter Defense (+21)
99 Block (+5)
70 Steal (+14)
99 Shot Contest (+4)
85 Reaction Time (NC)
Robinson is the best shot blocker in Knicks franchise history. Better than Kristaps Porzinigs, Patrick Ewing, and Marcus Camby. Yet like Porzingis, he gives up rebounding position going for these blocks.
What's most exciting about Mitch is shot block specialists (Manute Bol, Shawn Bradley, Theo Ratliff, Mark Eaton, Tree Rollins, Marcus Camby) typically can't score efficiently. Mitch won't ever be the post player that Hakeem, Admiral, Zo, or Anthony Davis are/were, but he very clearly won't be an offensive zero either. If Dikembe Mutombo could finish like Mitchell Robinson, he'd have been DAVID Robinson.
ATHLETICISM
65 Lateral Quickness (NC)
60 Speed (+12)
45 Ball Speed (+20)
45 Acceleration (+20)
85 Vertical (+2)
75 Strength (+10)
80 Stamina (-5)
95 Hustle (NC)
80 Durability (NC)
MENTAL
70 Pass Perception (+5)
80 Offensive Consistency (NC)
65 Defensive Consistency (-20)
65 PNR Defense (-7)
75 Help Defense (-12)
70 Intangibles (-28)
90 Potential (+2)
He ain't there yet as a defender. Again, he's 21 years old.
12 BADGES (+1)
FINISHING (4): Pick & Roller (H-U1), Putback Boss (H-U1), Lob City Finisher (H-U1), Contact Finisher (B-ADD)
DEFENSE (8): Chase Down Artist (G), Heart Crusher (G), Pogo Stick (G), Rim Protector (G-U1), Intimidator (S), Lightning Reflexes (S), Rebound Chaser (S), Worm (S)
I gave Robinson three Hall of Fame badges. I am not playing around here. His production is nothing short of historic. Badges are meant to push us beyond where the ratings go.
Robinson lead the league in Putback frequency in both of his professional seasons. 37% as a rookie, 35% this year. He has likewise been the most efficient PNR finisher (min 100 poss) in both his professional seasons. He's probably the best dunking center in history. Better than DeAndre Jordan. Imagine if Robinson played with prime Chris Paul & Blake Griffin instead of R.J. Barrett and Julius Randle?
(I think I just made my argument for the Knicks acquiring CP3 via trade)
