Mitchell, the next Damian Lillard but with defense

I'm surprised more people here are not as excited about Mitchell as I am -- I checked on the Internet and people who are just basketball fans, not Jazz fans are gushing about him after tonight -- this game was nationally televised, so that is the reason for the response. There were even some saying that he will be better than Gobert.
 
That sequence at the end of the game where Gobert blocks Ingram and Mitchell hits a clutch 3 is a sign of the future.

See 3:00.

Yes really. He can get up in space off 2 feet, but he has, and he has stated this himself, never dunked off 1 foot in a game.

How can you say he's a below the rim player when he can get way above the rim? If he can get that high off two feet, it's just a matter of coordination before he will be able to do it by a broad jump.
 
Not really, I saw him get his head even with the rim once during summer league. The guy has major hops.

With two feet. Not so much on one foot

After being let down by fes, I'll believe it when it happens
 
You didn't see the game tonight, did you? 26 points and some unbelievable plays, including a clutch 3-pointer near the end that sealed the game for the Jazz. He had one outstanding play after another.



It was great. Fantastic.
Just one caveat though. Unlike you, I think the Lakers will suck big time this year. They will suck even more once Lonzo starts playing a lot again.
 
Never forget the Denver Nuggets traded us Rudy Gobert and Donvovan Mitchell for Trey Lyles, Tyler Lydon, Erick Green and cash.
