The 23-year-old Mitchell Robinson III is from Pensacola, Florida and was drafted 36th overall in the 2018 NBA Draft. He was named to the NBA’s All-Rookie Second Team in 2019 for his impressive play in his first season as a pro.
According to the Pensacola News Journal, Robinson was the city’s first athlete to be drafted to the NBA in 34 years.
Robinson is currently a fourth-year NBA player for the New York Knicks who plays Center for the team. The Knicks have been struggling as of late with a record of 27-31 and currently sit at 12th in the Eastern Conference. If the playoffs started today, the team would not even be a part of the play-in tournament. We’ll see if they can make a run for a play-in spot after the All-Star break.
