Donovan Mitchell is simply a gift

Yes, bcuz I took so much crap for that -- well, maybe I overreacted because Archie was giving me a neg every time -- seriously, every time I posted anything about Donovan, going on about how he can't shoot, etc, and then Numberica jumped on that bandwagon, saying the same as Spycam1 that there were lots of people who liked him when he was drafted.
 
He's young, single and having the time of his life. Cool that he recognizes the stoke he can bring people. Love his quote about how excited he would be when he was younger if his hero showed up.

Yes, and in October last year, I said barring injury he'd be the greatest player in Jazz history ... still has a ways to go but he's on his way. Numby who is on a self-ban excoriated me for that, pointing out that a lot of people were already on the DM bandwagon then, but I don't think nearly so much as that -- except maybe Str8line. Even John Stockton said in a recent interview that he wasn't so sure about Donovan until a few months into the season.

Im pretty sure you just put yourself ahead of THE GREAT JOHN STOCKTON as a judge of NBA talent. Im sure that's not gonna get discussed this season.

Talk about making a rod for your own back...

Not at all -- just my intuition and I do have a gift for intuition. I could describe a number of situations in my life that this has occurred and they have nothing to do with basketball.

Please do, at length, could be a great stand alone thread.

It's personal and I would prefer to write it, as an article that would require some thought. But I had a feeling about DM the first time I saw him play in Summer League last year, not just in October. I mentioned this before in threads. So, I'm not claiming to be a great judge of talent. Just a feeling I had about him. It happens to everyone, just that it seems it has happened to me more than most.
 
Eenie you really think you were the only one who felt something after the first Summer league game last year? Pretty much everyone knew at that point the kid was going to be good. And most thought the pickup was amazing during the draft. We just didn't think we had a shot of acquiring due to our intial draft position. You're only like 5 levels below pgabs delusion of grandeur.

Edit* ok that was kinda rude. I'd still be curious about a thread on your feelings and insights like Rub mentioned.

Tbh I think it was @Bodhi who was way ahead of everyone on the “Spida Mitchell is going to be a star” fan club. Called his meteoric rise for the Utah Jazz pre-draft.
