Donovan Mitchell All NBA?

[royzzz]

Will Donovan Mitchell make All NBA?
How tough it would be with only 6 slots for a guard/backcourt?
You have Doncic, Lillard, Harden and Curry who are already penciled even before any games have started.
Then you have CP3, Murray, and Morant. Not including McCollum, Wall and Booker with sentimental favorites already on the list.
This is just the west!
From the east there's Lowry, Simmons, Oladipo, Holiday, Walker, Irving and Westbrook.

What about Trae Young

 

[Avery]

Extremely tough. Just tons of point-heavy guards given the green light to toss it up. Would need 30 PPG to even have a chance and shoot about 48%.

The jazz would need to have around 60 wins and look like a contender.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I think it's entirely plausible.

Let's hope he plays at that level but the incumbency advantage/reputation/politics keeps him from the award for the sake of the Jazz's cap situation (if he makes an All-NBA team this year his contract will cost about $6 million more a year, IIRC).

I think you mean 53 wins (only 72 games in the season so 53 is the equivalent of a regular 60).

I doubt it.
I think he will need to average at least 28 points per game and the jazz end up top 4 in the west to have a chance

1, jazz make it to top 3 in the West to justify having two players in all-nba

2, DM improve his stats to 27+5+5 or better which makes it tough for the media and fans to ignore AND the jazz secure a top 5 finish in the West

3, Rudy is gone by mid-season and Jazz makes it to the playoffs. The league will then choose DM to represent the Jazz as its lone star in all NBA team.

Easy! He averages 29 and the Jazz are 3rd seed

I don't know exactly what it would take, but if he does somehow make All NBA then he would be totally worth and deserving of the full $195M contract. There are sooooo many talented guards around the league (Harden, Luka, Lillard, Curry, etc..). Donovan would have to be balling out of his mind all season with all of the competition in the guard category.
When Donovan went off and played like a superstar against Denver in the postseason his stats were amazing. His stats were right around what Harden, Luka, and Lillard averaged in the regular season. So I'd say a jumping off point for making All NBA would be him playing near the level he showed in the playoffs for the entire regular season..

No chance Curry is back, Irving is back. Morant could surpass DM as well.

 

[Jingled]

I don't see it. Just too many good guards. Playing in a small market and having so few games nationally televised definitely won't help either.
