Both offense and defense have contributed! The Knicks center has played his role well?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G6, the Indiana Pacers, who returned to their home court, defeated the New York Knicks 125-108, locking the total score of the series at 4-2. After this game, the Pacers successfully reached the finals, and they will compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the NBA championship this season, while the Knicks stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Although the Knicks lost the game, the team's starting center Mitchell Robinson performed quite well. Robinson played 29 minutes and 37 seconds in the game, made 4 of 5 shots, scored 8 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, including 5 frontcourt rebounds, 2 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of -18. Robinson also showed quite good scoring ability at the basket on the offensive end, and his performance in frontcourt rebounding competition is also very outstanding. Not only that, Robinson's performance on the defensive end is also remarkable. He also has a huge defensive coverage area, he has also made great contributions to protecting the basket, and his overall performance is beyond everyone's expectations. Robinson has played his own role on both offense and defense. Unfortunately, there is a huge gap in the performance of the Knicks team compared to their opponents, which is also an important factor in the team's defeat.

In the NBA regular season this season, Robinson was affected by injury and played 17 games in 82 games, averaging 17 minutes per game, with averaging 5.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.5 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 66.1% and a free throw percentage of 68.4%. In the playoffs, Robinson averaged 20.6 minutes in the first 18 games, with averaging 4.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 60.8% from the field and 39.3% from free throws.

Robinson was actually pretty good during the playoffs. When he was on the court, the team's performance in rebounding protection and rim protection will be significantly improved. Therefore, Robinson was able to get more playing time during the playoffs than in the regular season, and he also directly entered the team's starting lineup in this round of the series. But it is obvious that Robinson is just a blue-collar inside player. He can play a key role at some point, but he cannot decide the team's ceiling and the victory or defeat of the game. At least judging from the situation in this round of the series, there is a certain gap between the Knicks' overall strength and their opponents. I wonder if the Knicks will adjust the roster this summer, and can Robinson continue to stay in the team's lineup?
