New York Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson is one of the fastest rising stars in the NBA, and the 21-year-old has reportedly been invited to take part in an upcoming Team USA training camp:

Robinson had an outstanding rookie campaign, as he turned out to be quite a steal for the Knicks as the 36th overall pick from the 2018 NBA Draft. The energy he brings to the floor is significant enough to impact any game, and his profile definitely fits the bill for New York.

Unfortunately for the Knicks, snagging a potential star so late in the draft is considered one of the best moves they've made in the past few years. We just can't talk discuss the Knicks without talking about what just transpired recently with regards to the botched Kyrie Irving-Kevin Durant pursuit at Madison Square Garden.

Sure, New York's decision to part ways with Kristaps Porzingis — who wanted out anyway — was considered a pretty impressive move when it went down, as it freed up a ton of cap space to sign two superstar-caliber free agents. Well, we all know what happened there.

Robinson's stock is definitely on the rise, and with a little bit of luck, he could actually turn out to be a crucial asset for New York. He's set to take the floor for a loaded Knicks Summer League squad, and New York fans will just need to try and make the best out of their current conundrum.
