The challenge now is for DL to build a contender around Mitchell. I remember Deron saying all the right things...and then he turned sullen and bitchy. I think a lot of that was due to him realizing he couldn't attract stars to Utah. I just hope the same doesn't happen down the road with Donovan, if the Jazz can't attract another 1-2 players to make Utah a contender.

I think his inefficiency is a symptom of a game plan that was thrown together once we realized he could score 20+pts a night and he was just told to go score, because we needed someone to score. I think next year there will be a better game plan and his efficiency will go up. He won't be a career high volume/low efficiency guy. He's way, WAY too smart for that.
This is a perfectly reasonable expectation.

Did you mean his biggest strengths are his handle and finishing in traffic?

Not with the 21st, but I heard Lindsey has called Denver and proposed #21 and Bradley for their pick.
Yeah cuz Dwill played for an old stubborn coach.
Mitchell playing for a coaching gawd.

There's a lot of truth to that. As great as Sloan was, I think he should have retired 5-10 years before he quit. I just don't think modern players responded to his style of coaching and dealing with players.
Wow. Don't remember seeing that article. Made me excited about Mitchell all over again.

Bump. Still not sure how DL pulled it off.

I disagree. IMO You take a rookie, and ask him to be option#1 he’s going to be inefficient, plus he was the only true threat as a scorer, which means all of the other teams efforts were to stop Mitchell first, second, and third. The fact that he’s still learning the game as a rookie under the conditions I mentioned im Shocked at the rate of efficiency he had. He’s only going to get better, which includes his efficiency.
Continue laying your douchy eggs, bunch of squakers in here. Sloan is one of the best coaches ever. He demanded his players play hard and smart, and act as men, that just isn’t in some people. DWill was a spineless little bitch, who by the way was branded a coach killer after he got his coach fired from the nets by the rest of the league. He also had nothing but good things to say about Sloan’s coaching, and how it was hard on him but made him a better player. Stockton and Malone wouldn’t have been HOFers without him
Still not sure why the Nuggets did this trade, traded for Lyles then drafted with the jazz pick a lesser version of Lyles. It boggles the mind. It was just a bad trade all around for Denver.
I think the proper thing to do is say thank you and would you like to make another deal?
DL should be charged with larceny.
I don't think you're really disagreeing with what I said at all.

You pointed to coaching, where as I said it’s becay he’s a rookie and inexperienced/learning curve.
Oh, well, okay. But I think coaching is going to be a big part of the solution to his inefficiency, along with his own development, intelligence and effort.
