What's new

Gamethread: OKC Thunder @ Utah Jazz. 7PM MST.

The head editor of SLC Dunk (or main contributor) has been saying Mitchell is going to supplant Hood in the starting lineup this year and become a super-star down the road.

weren't they also speculating that Exum would force the Jazz to trade Rubio half way through the season ?
 
Why would anyone concern themselves over something involving your expectations of anything? No one would be able to calculate that nor give two turds about it in the first place.

This is a discussion forum. Not sorry for my 2 cents.
 
I'm a little disconcerted how he's looked undersized when he's getting to the rim and getting blocked so easily. Still think he'll figure it out tho

That is really the whole jumping off 2 feet thing I think. He gets under the rim and just can't get in the air in stride, makes him look smaller than he is I think. I saw that too.
 
Rudy taking a subtle shot at the refs

Rudy has to learn to flop or toughen up. He could learn a bit from Udoh on positioning for offensive rebounds. So many times it seems like Rudy has an easy offensive rebound but he gets dislodged or drops the ball due to the smallest contact.

He is also just really small. The guy is 6'1. He has an incredible wingspan, but that is more of a defensive tool. Even if he was a 1 foot jumper, it would be difficult for him to play above the rim consistently. Tonight he got into the paint a couple of times and made some great passes. As long as he is consistently breaking the paint, I'm impressed. His jumper will fall eventually, it's too pretty not to.
