Does Mitchell have a lot of promise? Absolutely. Has Mitchell played below my expectations - especially getting more minutes? Absolutely. If you're offended or feel the need to defend this, ball don't lie.

Why are we arguing DM vs Exum? What is the point? In a wing/ballhandler driven league, we need both long term.

Anyways. Great win! Rubio has been even better than advertised. His midrange game is much better than I expected.

We are so lucky to have Udoh. Our second unit is going to surprise the hell out of teams. One thing I really like about this roster is we have guys that can really bother opposing players and get in their heads. Ingles is a great **** talker, and Rubio took Westbrook completely out if his game.

Feels good two have two real quality wins under our belt, especially considering we’ve done it with some less than stellar performances from some players and without Rodney tonight.

To be fair, explain how it's a bad comparison on the offensive end. Ok, go.

Three really bad games. Archie, what you expect him to be, Michael Jordan at the start of his career? I think he is playing well, making some great plays -- did you see those drives and dishes to Rudy. He can get into the paint better than anyone of the team already. And he plays solid D and never stops hustling. Just is missing his shots. I think you need to put your glasses on.

Gritty win by the Jazz, they looked good the whole game. Was nice to see that we can hang with the big boys even being down 1 starter. This team is going to sneak up on some others this season.

You were projecting three years out with the kid after 3 games.

No, just telling you three games in.

 

[Getting Traded]

Why am I a bad guy for calling an ace an ace?
I love Mitchell. He just looks overwhelmed and forces shots too much. Sorry you guys are too sensitive to be objective.

You only see the bad Archie. I don't think you're being objective.

Michael Jordan? No. Mitchell after 3 games in? No.
Sorry, had higher expectations. Dude looks like a poor man's Burks on the offensive end so far.
Still gonna buy his jersey for my gf though. Love the kid. Hate his play so far.

Why would anyone concern themselves over something involving your expectations of anything? No one would be able to calculate that nor give two turds about it in the first place.

Don't know what you're talking bout, dude.

The head editor of SLC Dunk (or main contributor) has been saying Mitchell is going to supplant Hood in the starting lineup this year and become a super-star down the road.
