What's new

*OFFICIAL* 17 on 26, Donovan Mitchell is the Monta Ellis watch thread

You lived in cedar fish? Going to SUU or were you raised there? You probably bought the crack from my cousin!
 
He had 6 assists last night. What does Tmac and you want 10? He gets his team going and shares the ball, but he’s the only one that creates on the team. He has to be in attack mode. That’s what Quin wants him to do. How are there this many jazz fans are there here that don’t get that. How do you not know that he’s fully a team guy who shares the ball, the point is he’s supposed to be in attack mode because we already have Rubio and Ingles that run the offense and create for others. Get a ****ing clue!!
I think tmac doesn't think he should be shooting 5/26 for starters

Lololololol..... I was going to SUU, kinda. Mostly just partying and wasting all the money I had saved up for school.

I worked at the little Cesar's pizza there for a while too

We've seen enough. Play, stats, results, all nearly identical. We need to pray Utah finds their Steph to Monta and that DL doesn't anything irrational by giving Mitchell a bloated contract that will chain this team down for years.
Teams lock down on Donovan on offense and force the Jazz to try to have other players beat them. So far it's working. The jazz needs to get more offensive minded players to make the defense play honest.

As much as I hate to say it, and as much as I don't like him, the Jazz could use a scorer like Jabari Parker. I wouldn't want him long term, but the jazz just needs some other people to help out Donovan

The jazz need Donovan to stop shooting as much. More ingles less Donovan please

Honestly that's not wrong. Ingles doesn't shoot as much as he really needs to. That being said, the Jazz have only 2 scorers in their starting lineup, that's not good enough.

DM is the best, he is completely different from Ellis in that he is a complete player. He can play great D when required. All the hate he is getting is crazy. Future MVP
 
Do we know that he is a worker and cares? He seems to have worked hard coming into the league and during last season, but that was when he was trying to earn a spot in the league and secure a future for hm and his family. The motivation is very different now and to be honest this summer it doesn't seem like he was much of a workhorse. I mean, he obviously put in work, but we don't know that it was more than an average player.

As for the care factor, I don't think that a recently return missionary (so they aren't biased by last year) would watch this year and think DM has a high care factor or joy/love for the game (as opposed to Rudy). I remember him last year being hungry and energetic. Think of all the rim highlights, or pushing in the open court, or second effort plays from last year. This year they are basically gone. He went from being somewhat comparable to Westbrook, to just an average dude.

Again, he was in a walking boot for the majority of the summer. All I have seen from him is that he cares immensely about his team, teammates, and winning. He sometimes shoulders too much of the load and presses a bit, but that's not Carmelo-syndrome, he's trying to spark his team and isn't afraid of the moment. Also, he has been given the green light by Quin to be the primary scorer. Look at any primary Alpha on any team and tell me how many shots they average on any given night. It's a lot.

I forgot about that boot he had, that's a good point. I agree, DM has a winning attitude, he will work harder on his efficiency, its early on in his second year after all. I'm not worried about him

Wow future MVP big call. Especially cause he's never going to be the best player on his team. I say no
