Mikael Bridges doesn't have to guard the other players, the other team's best player every single second of every single night, like he's been doing for most of this year. OG Ananobi can just wall off one side of the court. Josh Hart can do his Josh Hart things and get into passing lanes. And you've got four guys who are pretty good to excellent defensively.

I think it's made a difference. I think it depends on the night. There are some times where you see like, oh, he looks he looks really good. I don't think he's there as a rebounder right now. The healthiest version of Mitchell Robinson, like what he was before he injured the ankle when he was at full strength. That's the best offensive rebounder in the NBA.

I mean, he is the single best offensive rebounder in the NBA right now. He's not the single best offensive rebounder in the NBA. There are a lot of balls that I've seen where he kind of gets a fingertip on it. And you're like, you know what? Fully healthy. Mitchell Robinson is, is, is tapping that up in the air four times and actually coming down on it.

Cause he's really quick when he's at full strength on his, on his second jump defensively. I don't think he's already all the way there either. That being said, um, There have been tons of moments where guys have come into the lane, he's rotated over promptly, and a shot just hasn't gone up. They've just chosen not to go for the layup.

And you know if Karl-Anthony Towns is that guy, that rotation might be coming a little bit later. Or maybe if Towns even hits it promptly, guys just aren't scared of him. They're still putting up the layup, and there's a decent chance that's still going to go in because it's a layup, and they're not going to feel deterred by it.

So I do think he's been a net positive in that sense, and I do think the Knicks... Are trying to get to a place to where if Mitchell Robinson can look like himself, even if it's for only 15, 20 minutes a game, I think they would love to be able to get to a place where they could play him and Carl Anthony Towns together somewhat regularly.
