Mitchell Robinson was forced to skip some of the team’s informal training sessions in September for personal reasons, but according to a new report by Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, the young center found time to work with new assistant manager Mike Woodson in Louisiana.
Woodson recently flew to Robinson’s home state to train with the young center, according to the report.
The choice of the second round of 2018 obtained in the Carmelo Anthony trade has turned into a fundamental piece for the rebuilding of the Knicks. With the new leadership taking over from Steve Mills and David Fizdale / Mike Miller in New York, it’s a major offseason for Robinson to prove his worth as a star.
The 22-year-old is expected to renew his contract already this low season. However, it seems very likely that New York will wait until next summer to decide if they want to lock him up for the long term. He has two unsecured seasons remaining for his current contract.
