3 Stats That Show How Mitchell Robinson Has Regressed Since Joining Celtics

In the initial months of the Boston Celtics' successful season without Jaylen Brown, it has become apparent that Mitchell Robinson has not lived up to the expectations surrounding his acquisition. Here are three key statistics that illustrate Robinson's regression since joining the team.

Firstly, Robinson's net rating on the court when playing has significantly worsened when compared to when he is off the floor. The Celtics are 37.0 points worse when Robinson is on the floor as opposed to when he is not, which is a concerning fourth-percentile mark among NBA bigs. This slump appears to be primarily due to Robinson's offensive struggles.

Secondly, when evaluating Robinson's creation adjusted turnover percentage, it becomes clear that his turnover rate is more aligned with that of a less proficient passer like Nathan Peterman rather than a star like Josh Allen. This metric accounts for offensive load and suggests that Robinson has been generating turnovers at an alarming rate, pointing towards a more Nathan Peterman-like influence on Boston's offense.

Lastly, Robinson's offensive rebound rate has plummeted dramatically since joining the Celtics, dropping to 10.6%. This significant decline indicates that Robinson is on track to finish the season with more fouls than offensive rebounds, which could present a major challenge for Celtics fans.
