It's all Donovan's fault

[fishonjazz]

Quin has to start playing Exum, let him off the leash already. Stop caring if he can shoot, and just let him play D, distribute,
and take some of the offense creation off of DM's hands. Let him screw up as much as the rest of team, even for a week or two.
If they really think he can fit with Mitchell, they have to figure it now.

I agree

Donovan shoots > 18 shots and 7 3s a game. The fact that he only gets about a quarter of those 3s (and less than 10% as 2s) as open looks is telling for his %s.


The team is getting good looks, just for the wrong players.

I have been saying all along that when Ricky shoots/scores well that it's fools gold. The defense gives him wide open easy shots. If he actually makes 40% of those easy open looks once in a while teams will live with that if it means that dm, Ingles, gobert are not getting looks.


It's like if you play Golden State you should always leave Draymond open and hope to God that he shoots as much as possible. If he makes them so be it. A Draymond shot is always preferable to the other guys shooting even when he makes them. Same goes for Rubio.

He looks heavy and slow to me much of the time. Hell, how many dunks does he have?

8, the same number as Exum and Udoh. 2 less than O'Neale.

The flip side to this is that open Rubio 3 has been a better shot than the shots Donovan is taking (statistically, points per shot). There's a reason Quin is urging these guys to take these 3s.

Those off the dribble 30 foot missiles by Mitchell are the worst.

Yeah, they do serve a purpose keeping the defense honest and opening up driving lanes. Mitchell had a lot of success last year, and this year to an extent, getting into the lane mostly due to the threat of a pull up. The problem is he has to make more in order for it to work.

Right. They don't keep defenses honest when he hits them at such a horribly low rate. Just a bad shot that shouldn't be taken atm. Until he can hit it at least 30%.

When the camera is behind Mitchell he looks out of shape and the thought after seeing that is he isn't dunking the ball and he's getting blocked a lot at the rim while trying to reach away from the shotblocker. Mitchell as short as he is doesn't have the explosion of last year.

You know this stuff about Mitchell being "out of shape"? I think that Mitchell's body and movement do look different. He looks bigger and more muscular. I was actually surprised at how much smaller he looked in last year's highlights. No reason to be super strong at that position.
