Donovan Mitchell is the next Rose, Wall, Westbrook... -Cowherd

Cowherd belongs to the 'hot take' fraternity of sports commentators. Like others of his ilk (e.g., Steven A., Skip, Chuck, Shaq, etc.), he likes to make polarizing statements without putting in any effort to get informed, while studiously avoiding anything that could remotely be called an "advanced stat." He can be fun to listen if one can deal with grimacing now and then when he goes off into stupid land (before doing so, I recommend exercising your eyeballs to prevent strain from all the eye rolling you're likely to do), I actually enjoy him now and again.

Love to see media "experts" get raked over the coals. Your job is to report the news, not opine as if you are an expert on all sports. Know your place.

Cowherd may be the biggest windbag of all. Completely full of ****.

His job isn't to report, it is to opine.

You guys have this all wrong. We should be thanking Cowherd for what he said and the fact Mitchell responded with "Heard."

Mitchell wasnt very efficient last season.He was a weak 3pt shooter in conparison to great off guards. This is going to drive him to improve the aspect of his game that can help us the most.
 
Meh...

A mention is more than we got before DM was here, so that's something. All the greats have their fair share of comparisons, and criticisms. It's a good sign.
 
Probably one of the dumbest takes I have heard from the media.

Yes.
But I think DM works on his shooting regardless of what CC says.

I think he is motivated by being the best and winning the title. Anything talking heads, or anyone else, says is just noise.

Right. Cowherd is to sports media what, say, Hannity is to political media. They are both hot takers paid loads of money to spout strong opinions that stimulate the emotional part of the listener's/viewer's brain, not the rational part. Unfortunately, the line between hot takers and legitimate media has become blurred, but it is useful, nonetheless, to make an effort to distinguish the two.
 
This guy is hilarious. Mitchell isn't great because he can't shoot (forget the statistics that show otherwise), but Simmons, who made zero three pointers, is awesome. LOLZ. This guy doesn't believe what he's saying. Carnival barker.
 
Silly comparison; full of errors. Shooting 34% from three is very good, for a rookie.

The only part of the comparison that concerns me is the one about Rose. Not because he can't shoot, but because Rose pushed his body so hard, it broke. Donovan shows some of those tendencies. When he literally jumped over a slightly hunched Capella, I remember thinking all Clint had to do was stand up straight and Mitchell's season and maybe career are over. Scary thought!
