Jazz are committed to Donovan as cornerstone according to Woj

I think it’s fairly easy to see why the fanbase likes Gobert more than Mitchell.

He’s an underdog that came out of nowhere to be an elite player. He was all effort, all the time. He, at the very least, appeared to be upfront and honest about things. He spoke his mind, and didn’t shy away from things. But most importantly to a fanbase used to getting **** on, he full out loved Utah, loved being here, and wanted to be here for his whole career. By now it’s pretty obvious that Don, despite being a very good player and having good attributes, does not want to be here long term and has a crappy attitude. Is it really any wonder the fanbase likes/liked Rudy better? It really isn’t that difficult.

Who is Rudy Gobert? I don't see him on the roster anywhere.

Weird. We must have shopped him around for months and traded him or something.

I’ve never seen quite the cult-like fan club Gobert has. It really doesn’t have to be like this against Donovan. Fact is Donovan is a top-5 Jazz-man of all-time along with Rudy. It doesn’t have to be a competition especially when Rudy isn’t on the team anymore.

What? Top 5? No way… Hayward is above Don and Hayward is like #7 or 8.

If you don’t think Mitchell is good enough to build around, that’s valid. Don’t think he could be the best player on a championship team? Valid. I probably don’t either. But the rumors and blaming everything in him has gotten totally out of hand. I understand people really loved Gobert, but Mitchell isn’t the reason he was traded. This isn’t all Mitchell’s fault. Does it seem like they didn’t like each other? Maybe. If we’re being honest, most of the players in the league don’t seem to like Rudy. Mitchell and Gobert didn’t have to be friends, they had to make it work on the basketball court and they couldn’t. But I do think they both sincerely tried and I don’t blame either of them. I blame the roster around them and bad front office and coaching decisions more than them.

Mitchell has been nothing but a total class act his whole time here. He’s a good dude. There are so many insane rumors about him flying around this forum and around jazz fans that have no validity. It’s got to stop. Let’s appreciate him while he’s here. His rookie season is my favorite Jazz season ever (I wasn’t old enough for Stockton and Malone). When we trade him it’ll break my heart, just like trading Gobert did

I agree with a lot of that except the last part. Not sure if i'll feel much when he's traded. Certainly nothing like this last week

Realistically...

1. Malone
2. Stockton
3. Dantley
4. Gobert
5. Maravich
6. Williams
7. Kirilenko
8. Mitchell
9. Hayward
10. Okur
11. Boozer
12. Big T

Something like that. Just off the top of my head.

This would make a good poll. Top 10 Jazz players of all time. Might need 2 to set up a 3rd.


By the way, the first 5 on this list would likely win multiple championships.
 
I would say the top-5 Jazz players ever are likely Malone, Stockton, Gobert, Mitchell and Dantley.

I would put Maravich and Williams over Gobert. Mitchell over AK.

So Gobert #6
Mitchell #7
