Mitchell, the next Damian Lillard but with defense

[Getting Traded]

He didn't shoot well in college either.

His shooting percentage might not be good, but he can score in many ways. What was he, 10-20 last night, but 2-9 from 3.

He took tough shots in college, wanted to take over ganes and stand out. I remember hearing he was in the 95th percentile when it came to spot up 3s.

Gobert looks like he's rolling to the hoop with more force/intent than last year. Maybe I just never looked close enough.

Gobert's man hangs back sooo far on the Rubio Gobert PNR that Gobert gets a ton of momentum to the rim.

NBA 3 is a different creature. Mitchell will adjust. Generally rookies don't light it up from 3, there is a adjustment period. Mitchell's shout is quick and easy which is generally what Rookies have to relearn in the league.

That baseline 3 Mitchell hit, where he crossed the floor and quickly squared off the feed from Joe Johnson was a very advanced shot. That's Jeff Hornacek or Terry Porter-level shooting.

There was a catch and shoot pullup 3 by Mitchell against the Suns (that obviously wasn't televised so not sure where to find it) but was really incredible. If I remember right it was a fastbreak kickout pass that was very low and he caught it and seemingly all in one motion stopped on a dime and pulled up and drained it.

EDIT: Found it at 1:20 mark

Gordon who? Rodney who? Alec who? We got our star and it’s DM! Incredible. That was the kind of performance you HOPE to see in the regular season maybe.

That was an impressive stop and gather.

Who was that who passed it to him?

Is there a video on demand of the Jazz Lakers preseason game anywhere? I missed it due to work conference and would like to catch it.

I love basking in the hype of Mitchell. We ****ing deserve this!

His sophomore year, he shot 35.4% from 3 in college on 6.6 attempts per game. that's not bad... It's about average, so to say he didn't shoot well in college would be inaccurate, right?

I actually introduced his parents to each other because I felt they had the perfect combination of genes. Plus I bet his dad 50 bucks he couldn't seal the deal, just to get things moving.

I saw him anointed as Jazz "savior" in the pre-existence. Gordon Hayward and Danny Ainge were told to beware lest they become sons of perdition.
