Soccer8098 575 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Oh my god he has 11 and 5 with NO fouls at the half. I fully expect him to foul out in the 3rd though 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amendola96 28 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The thing is pretty simple here: Fizdale is killing his value. Give him more minutes, let him play with the starting unit. Foul trouble is always going to be a concern, but at least you're giving him the chance to improve. Putting an average Taj Gibson isn't improving the defense at all... Hoping for garbage time minutes can't be the ROS outlook for this guy. Too much upside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who's watched the games this year can see that Robinson has been fouling out with totally undisciplined fouls, to the point that he tweeted about it and then deleted after last game. As for starting, Fizdale may not be a good coach but the front office tied his hands when they broke the bank on Randle, Portis, Morris, and Gibson. Portis and Morris might work as stretch fours next to Mitch but no coach is going to send his highest paid player and the offseason's big acquisition to the bench.

Curious what he said if you dont mind sharing I'll never find it now, I saw it on the Knicks subreddit. To paraphrase it said something like "I can't keep doing these ticky tack fouls because my teammates need me". He deleted it and then later wrote something like "need to work on myself". Lo and behold, tonight he had zero fouls and played 30 minutes. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indigorivers 399 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I seen that too. I've been holding on tighter to Mitchell Robinson than I have with any player. This guy got me 9 blocks on a sunday last year and won me the cat by 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, like, this is pure speculation, but I really believe that a young player like Robinson has big bounce-back potential when he under performs. He's better than he's shown recently, and it's a rare pro player that can't recognise areas of improvement in their game. He wants to be on the court, and I think he knows what he needs to do to stay on it. Just a matter of discipline (and maybe a nudge to Mr. Fritzdale). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's all about him for the foul trouble thing. And sometimes you better be superficial and just start your most talented guy, specially when you are 4-18 and nothing is working in your favor.
