I can't wait to see how he progresses over the next 3 years. Hopefully he just continues to go through the roof.
I think Simmons' lack of 3 point shooting (and his unwillingless to shoot it) is going to be a black mark against him. I mean, think about it, even Centers like Marc Gasol, Embiid, Lopez, Cousins, etc, are shooting the 3pt shot. How can you be the ROY and take no 3pt shot all year?
Looking at it that way Mitchell is more of complete player and therefore should get the ROY.

lol. They don't play the same position or have the same role at alll but okay. Forget that DM is the sole reliable offensive option for the Jazz and Tatum feasts off the ball.
OK?
You're comparing apples to oranges in terms of what they are as players. What we do know is that Mitchell is producing more in a much more difficult situation than Tatum.
In other words, I think your assessment is wrong and lacks depth.
Someone asked if a redraft happened who would go #1 and I said DM or Tatum. I just sided with Tatum because of the age and height factor. This is still the NBA and 6'8 wings are still the highest demanded asset. I don't think any team would look just strictly at current results in conducting a hypothetical redraft.

Also just wanted to post this.... Donovan Mitchell ranked second in Rookie Rankings. Can he beat out Simmons eventually? http://roundballdaily.com/2017/12/1...ings-has-donovan-mitchell-taken-the-top-spot/
As a starter (20 games) Mitchell is averaging (per 100) 29.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.1 assists. In comparison Simmons is averaging 20.2 points, 10.2 boards and 8.9 assists.
So Simmons is getting 2.8 more assists and 5.4 more rebounds but Mitchell on better TS% is averaging 9.5 more points.
This race should get interesting, hopefully they both stay healthy and dont hit any rookie wall.

The one big advantage that Mitchell has in the ROY race is that he can score from anywhere on the floor, and at anytime. When games are on the line late, Mitchell can be the difference maker. Simmons in those situations and at this point, is more of a complimentary piece. Simmons' lack of range, limits his ability to put the team on his shoulders and to take over a game. He needs his teammates to do that with him more than Mitchell does.
For Mitchell to win ROY though, he needs results where he actually does put the team on his back and turn Ls into Ws. And if he did this while the team was chasing a playoff spot, he would have a chance. Lot to ask from a rookie
Yup Mitchell is improving his assists and %s and that really narrows this race. I think he will have a legit chance to win it.
I have my eye on another goal. Most 20+ point games by a Jazz rookie is set at 50 by Dantley. Will Mitchell contest that? He's at what 15?
