How should fantasy players price Mitchell Robinson if the Knicks extensions lands between $14M-$20M per season and triggers the second apron?
Robinson’s fantasy value depends on usage and durability. If extended into the $14-20M range but the Knicks dip into the second apron, expect a plateau in minutes with more dependence on switch-heavy lineups and strong rebounding around a shortened ceiling for salary additions. His block/defensive metrics stabilize, but higher payroll could limit upgrades around him, pressing coaches to rely on him in high-leverage non-stretch minutes rather than a heavy ball-handling role. In tournaments, prioritizing Robinson for double-doubles and boards while watching for late-game foul risk is prudent. In cash games, his floor remains solid, but his ceiling could be capped by surrounding roster constraints.
