Despite being without Kevin Knox and Frank Ntilikina, the Knicks ended their 2018 NBA Summer League campaign on a high note, as they crushed the Pelicans, 102-83, Friday.
Mitchell Robinson, who played all five games in Las Vegas, continued to be a menace both offensively and defensively. The center finished off this dish from Daymean Dotson uncontested at the rim in the second quarter.

We’ll be seeing a lot of the 2018 second-round pick finishing off alley-oops in the near future.

The center finished off his Summer League stint with a final line of 14 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks.
The Knicks’ second-round selection in 2017, Dotson closed out Summer League with a terrific performance, scoring 15 points while grabbing 6 boards and dishing out 5 assists. With Knox out, Dotson took on more of a scoring responsibility and responded by hitting 6-of-8 from the field, including this 3-ball.

UNSUNG HERO: Daniel Ochefu came off the bench during Summer League, but the 24-year-old big man had flashes of brilliance throughout. Ochefu led the Knicks with a team-high 22 points and 8 rebounds.
A strong 1st quarter start for @DanielOchefu32 of the @nyknicks! 💪
