What Do You Think Donovan "A New Hope" Mitchell Is Going To Be?

[Siro]

Considering he was already borderline all-star level as a rookie, we can safely assume that clear cut all star is his floor.

There is a discussion on RealGM on whether Joe Ingles is a top 30 player.

On the general forum or the Jazz forum?

Fringe All Star this year but rising. I think a lot of teams are going to guard DM like Houston did putting Ariza on him.That really slowed him down. Also I don't think he's going to be All defense or 2nd team defense as well ...not guarding 2 guards ,he's tooo small.
He probably is more suited at PG (sizewise) but if Exum(healthy) takes off this year (ideal) then Jazz might have themselves a double headed PG tandem.

Rubio comes out like his 2nd half play of the last 2 seasons at the beginning of the season Jazz will be lethal where all 3 (DM,Exum,Rubio) bring out the best of each other. All 3 lethal at PG but playing position less BB. Fingers xed.

And that’s what I voted. It’s crazy to feel that even going all in on him is selling short.

Phenomenal

Man. looking at the poll results and considering I did this thread in August, we are either very smart bball people, or uniformly just a motley assembly of homers.

Or perhaps our high hopes were spurred on in response to a certain former Jazz player bolting for Boston?

I love when people say stuff like this. It equates to -- "he's basically like a hall of famer, but better"

This is one of the reply's of the year

We all fell in love with Donovan very quickly. I think a lot of it was you could tell how hard he worked, and part of it is we’re homers, you could see it a little in summer league, and we all kind of just loved the dude and wanted to see him be amazing. He has been, he will be, and we are extremely blessed to have such an influential guy on the court and off in our community.

His personality (kindness) and community involvement probably won me over even more than his game tbh. I love to root for nice, good, guys.

I voted "Clear Cut All Star." Wish I could change my vote to Superstar.

I don't care if some of it is calculated media savvy, it can't all be that. He is easily the most likable Jazz player ever in terms of how talented he is. Like it's not really a contest. Maybe Hornacek, but I'll be stunned if Mitchell doesn't have a much better career than Hornacek did (and his career wasn't shabby).

Which is why I'll be furious if the Jazz don't park a Brinks truck to his door step the first opportunity they get.

Don't think there's any concern about that. Dennis and the Millers seem 100% committed to creating an environment where we take care of our own. Can't imagine Donovan (of all people) to be an exception to that.
