I wonder if Simmons will make 175 threes in his whole career...Countdown on Most 3 point makes by a Rookie: Post Timberwolves - 1/1/18
1.) Damian Lillard, Portland (12/13) - 185
2.) Donovan Mitchell, Utah (17/18) - 175
3.) Steph Curry, GSW (09/10) - 166
Donovan Mitchell (17/18) - with one more 3 pointer tonight brings his total to 175
Needs 11 more to take over 1st.
5 games left to go. He needs to average 2.2 per game to do that. He’s been averaging 2.6 per game (on 7.3 attempts) since the win streak began back in January. Looking more and more likely that he’ll get there, but it won’t be until the last game in Portland that he tops Lillard. Which would be fitting since he passed Curry in Oakland.
Tell me how Mitchell is not as good as Simmons? Then I'll tell you how Simmons isn't as good as Mitchell. U sure as hell better not ignore this post!!No one hate mitchell here, He is just not as good as simmons as a player
You can go ahead and join himHe needs to take some medication as well. Totally deluded.
Anyone who thinks Donovan Mitchell is ROTY has the intelligence of a centipede
And anyone who doesn't think that he is, the intelligence of a kumquatAnyone who thinks Donovan Mitchell is ROTY has the intelligence of a centipede

FYI Donovan will be on First Take on Wednesday.
I wonder if Simmons will ever tie Mitchell's record for missed 3's? That's a rookie record that might stand for quite some time. As good as Mitchell is, he hurts the Jazz with his ineffiency from deep. Most of his misses are NOT last second heaves to beat the shot clock. And he also commits way too many TO's. Awards like ROY and MVP dont just go to the player with the highest scoring average.I wonder if Simmons will make 175 threes in his whole career...

Assists are just as important since you enabled a teammate to score. Rebounds are important; defense is important.
Simmons recognizes he doesnt have 3Pt range so he doesnt hurt his team by taking low-percentage shots. Donovan at times is a chucker.
Both players generally play to their strengths. Philadelphia is best having Simmons as a triple double player, but not as their top scorer. Utah has needed .Michell, despite his poor shooting at times, to carry the scoring load.
You can argue for either as ROY. But to hurl insults or disparage either really shows one's ignorance.
Personally, im a Jazz fan. I love what Mitchell has done. But i mark him down a notch for his inefficiency. And the fact Simmons can score, rebound or dish out double digit assists puts him ahead of Mitchell, IMO.
Actually ROY is an award that almost always goes to the highest scorer. I'm sure there's only a handful of times that hasn't been the case. I'm not saying that's the way it should be (this year or any year), just pointing out the weirdness of that particular award.I wonder if Simmons will ever tie Mitchell's record for missed 3's?

Like I said. There's a lot of justification going on"I wonder if Simmons will ever tie Mitchell's record for missed 3's? That's a rookie record that might stand for quite some time. "
"You can argue for either as ROY. But to hurl insults or disparage either really shows one's ignorance."
Hmmmm. Jack com'on now, dont try to have it both ways.
You can't really expect to be taken seriously by throwing shade at Donovan, and then shaming us for returning fire.
This is, after all, a "Mitchell" love thread. Simmons trolls have tried to turn it into a coronation of Ben by throwing shade at our man DM. They (you? ) invite disparagment by the arrogance of their homerism.
I will admit BS is a great rookie, but it chafes my chaps that BS fans can't or won't return the sentiment. It begs the question, what are they (you?) so afraid of?

Simmons is phenomenal, and that’s why I said he is just as deserving of ROY as DM. DM is also equally as deserving and just as dynamic a player. DM is incredible, and if you gave me the chance to swap them straight up for one another today, as a Jazz fan, I wouldn’t do it and wouldn’t have a second thought about it. I love Donovan and everything about him. I believe Donovan’s efficiency issues he has on some nights will soon disappear and he will be one of the biggest and most dynamic stars in the NBA in short order. Whoever wins ROY, whatever, either guy deserves it, but I wouldn’t give Donovan up for anything at this point.I wonder if Simmons will ever tie Mitchell's record for missed 3's?

Well put. I was thinking the same thing. Who would I rather have? I came to the same conclusion you did. Not just because of how he plays, but for how he carries himself. His grace under pressure is amazing. Whether it is in front of the camera, or in crunch time, the kid is truly amazing. He is so composed, that I don't think it would bother him to not get ROY. Where as I think it would crush BS. So I kind of hope BS does get it. Donovan is going to be great regardless of winning the award or not. I get the impression he will keep working to improve his game until he is unstoppable. He is pretty close at times now. BS will be great, but wouldn't trade DM for anything.Simmons is phenomenal, and that’s why I said he is just as deserving of ROY as DM. DM is also equally as deserving and just as dynamic a player.
