Contract Value Index (CVI)
B-
Good Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Mitchell Robinson drew a B- on the Contract Value Index — a measured outcome for the New York Knicks' center rotation. At $13M annually on a one-year deal, Robinson's contract reflects the market value for a solid starter with elite rim-running efficiency (70.2% FG) and consistent rebounding production, yet his $13M commitment sits at a premium for a player whose 2025-26 season statistics (5.7 PPG, 8.8 RPG across 60 games) position him as a depth piece rather than a foundational asset. The grade acknowledges what the data supports: Robinson is a legitimate rotation contributor whose on-court efficiency justifies his salary in a vacuum, but the performance is not transcendent enough to justify overpaying for a backup-caliber workload. As an established veteran entering his eighth season at age 28, Robinson is in the maintenance phase of his career, where durability and role definition matter more than growth trajectory — and his one-year structure keeps the Knicks flexible without long-term anchor risk. However, the mediaFraming and recent Finals coverage reveal a complicating factor: Robinson's discipline issues and decision-making in high-leverage moments have fractured his reputation, creating a perception gap where his statistical contributions no longer align with how analysts and fans view his actual value in clutch situations. The B- grade reflects that gap — a contract that is fair for his measured production, but carries hidden friction from a player whose shot-selection and emotional control are now under microscope in the postseason spotlight.
