Different situations man. They didn't have the offensive responsibility Mitchell does their first year. We will see.

Really? Who else was on their respective teams shouldering the load? Legit asking.

Aldridge and Monta Ellis.

I haven't actually looked at it. Are their usage rates similar?

Curry: 21.8%
Lillard: 24.2%
Mitchell: 28.7%

I think it is worth mentioning that both Lillard and Curry came out after their senior years. And yeah, Mitchell isn't a Robin to anyone else, nor has he had a Robin.

That being said, when you're shooting 2/17 from three in your last two games and seem to get everything you want inside, maybe do the latter more and the former less.

It seems fairly evident to me that he's aware of the record and is gunning for it. Which is fine if he makes shots.

Yup, you gotta recognize when your shot is way off and do something else for a minute.

They clogged the paint. And with no one else hitting shots they had no reason to move.

My hell the kids had a little trouble from 3 as of late get over it. Damian Lillard shot 0/7 from 3 last night and 5/17 from the field last night, and he had McCollum to defer to....this **** happens. Donovan’s has a huge work load, is still playing fine, and will be fine. That 3 is going to drop and in order for it to he has to keep shooting it. Lillard lives off horrible shot selection and everyone here likely loves his game, including myself. Donovan is fine and should keep shooting.

It's worth mentioning that Curry is the greatest shooter the world has seen.

Lillard would've had similar percentages with increased usage. That said, Mitchell does take a couple of bad shots a game.

He takes a few questionable shots, but a guy like Lillard every shot he takes is what looks to be a low percentage bad shot, and every Jazz fan salivates over him being here taking those shots. The grass is always greener...or you don’t fully realize what you have when you see it every night. We have a super star, and we need to let him do whatever he needs to to become one.
