Paul George Says Mitchell Robinson Must Do More For Celtics

George says Robinson is adapting to a different role in Boston that has reduced his counting stats and that the team expects him to adjust with support.

Overview

  • Paul George publicly told reporters that Robinson needs to do more for the Celtics and that teammates are backing him through the transition.
  • Robinson has appeared in seven of Boston’s eight games and has produced one double‑digit scoring game and four games with fewer than five points, according to game summaries.
  • Key counting stats have fallen compared with his season in New York, with a noticeable drop in offensive rebounds as the Celtics deploy him differently on offense and defense.
  • The Celtics have started the season well and George has fit smoothly alongside Jayson Tatum, which has raised expectations for new additions like Robinson to contribute sooner.
  • If Robinson adapts to Boston’s play style and reclaims his rebounding and interior impact, analysts say the team’s title chances could improve, but his adjustment is an early‑season storyline to watch.
