BOSTON – Mitchell Robinson has been in the NBA for seven seasons. All of them were with the Knicks.&nbsp;

So it can be considered an organizational failure as much as an indictment on Robinson’s lack of progression that, at 27 years old, <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/09/sports/mitchell-robinsons-impact-for-knicks-turns-poor-free-throw-shooting-into-footnote/">still can’t hit a foul shot</a>.

After all, he spent 10 months recovering from surgery in the last year, unable to run but certainly capable of standing behind a line and correcting his worst basketball trait.

But Robinson didn’t fix it. His percentage has gotten worse over the years, actually, falling from 60% as a rookie to under 50% combined in the last five seasons.&nbsp;

But Robinson still can’t hit free throws. And the longer the Knicks stay in the playoffs, the greater the chances it will cost them a game. {ai:summary}<p>Mitchell Robinson, now 27, has spent all seven seasons of his NBA career with the Knicks. Despite a lengthy recovery from surgery, he has failed to improve his free throw shooting, which has declined from 60% as a rookie to below 50% in recent years. This raises questions about both his development and the team's management. </p><p>#sports</p>
