One of the most feared defensive players in league history, Mitchell Robinson's career comes to a close after 1,089 games, most of which provided elite production. Will this be enough for him to get into the NBN Hall of Fame?

Arguments For Induction
- At the end of his career, Mitchell Robinson was #1 all-time in rebounds with 14,160 and within ~35 blocks of being the #1 all-time in said category as well. While Robinson was never the super-efficient, elite offensive scoring type big, he was absolutely a Hall of Fame level defender and rebounder.
- 814 double doubles, 192 POTG's, one Championship, 3x Defensive Player of the Year, 6x All-Defensive First/Second Team, 6x All-League Second Team. Over his career, Robinson ended up as one of the most dominant bigs we've seen thus far.
- As a Cavalier all-time great, he consistently was given the same role as an all-around contributor. Offensively, he was counted upon as a lower-level option with significant volume which was the perfect role for his ability, allowing him to score a bit while focusing primarily on his defense, which was very obviously his bread and butter. Compared to guys like Gobert and Markkanen, Robinson was in a totally different stratosphere.
Arguments Against Induction
- IF you're voting specifically for offensive production, Robinson's not going to wow anybody. He was primarily a 42-43% scorer throughout his career and was painfully average outside of the paint and from the free throw line, which likely shouldn't be held against him all things considered but definitely is a negative towards his overall success.
- Not much of a passer either, which is not necessarily a prerequisite for big men but is something we've seen tangibly produced out of both KAT and AD at a higher level than what Robinson was able to provide.
- Robinson knew when it was time to give it up and it's very ideal that that was the case because his decline began to look extremely apparent. Not only did his stock numbers drop significantly near the end of his career, but he also couldn't score to save his life and really began to negatively impact the team he was on. This won't take away from his career as a whole, but his decline definitely did not help his all-time production.
Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.
***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $100 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $100***
