New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson is one of the most athletic bigs in the NBA, and he proved as much once again on Thursday night at the Barclays Center.
Robinson threw down a ferocious jam off a lob from Knicks point guard Frank Ntilikina during Thursday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets:

Robinson did not catch a body, but the one-handed grab and the extension are reminiscent of DeAndre Jordan during his āLob Cityā days. Fittingly enough, Jordan himself has a small cameo in this clip.
The 21-year-old continues to show why he is one of the brightest young centers in the league. Robinson entered Thursday night's game averaging 10.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in just under 23 minutes per game. He also leads the NBA with a .685 field goal percentage.
It has been an interesting ride for Robinson thus far. He was one of the lone bright spots for an otherwise morbid Knicks squad last season, and with DeAndre Jordan no longer in the picture, figured to see a serious increase in minutes this season.
Instead, Robinson has merely seen a slight uptick in minutes, despite increasing his overall productivity. Will he eventually get more opportunities to shine?
