Knicks, Mitchell Robinson tries to assert himself with weight gain

Mitchell Robinson entered training camp at 250 pounds – 10 more than last season. He thinks the added weight could lower his foul rate in 2020-21.

“I feel like the way the fouls came (last year) was because I’m a little lighter than most of the guys in the championship who have been here longer than me. And (they) have a little more experience, “Robinson said Monday.” With me adding some weight, this will definitely help me stay on the floor a little more than normal. Now I can keep the boys (to prevent them from moving freely). With that alone, I should be fine”.
