On July 1, Mitchell Robinson entered select company: a second-round pick to secure a major contract.
Upon receiving the news, he celebrated by jumping in the ocean. He didn’t let that exhilarating moment of landing a four-year, $60 million deal last long. The feeling of satisfaction quickly subsided. There was a lot more work to do.
Tom Thibodeau has noticed. If anything, he’s seen an even harder worker, a determined player who wants to improve. Robinson, the 36th overall pick in the 2018 draft, performed like it during the preseason, averaging 11.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks while notching a plus-66 rating.Noah K. Murray-NY Post
Thibodeau began to see Robinson’s evolution last offseason. He couldn’t do much due to a knee injury, but the young center used his time wisely, watching extra film and lifting weights. He put on the necessary muscle where last season he was no longer getting pushed around in the paint.
