Jazz @ Clippers October 24th, 8:30 PM Mountain Time

All Dante could do in his 2 years of playing was try to catch slower players off guard to get to the rim, then avoid contact with an off-foot layups. i'm not trying to say he was bad, but he just didn't have any kind of offensive arsenal and he isnt nearly as confident as Donovan.

Mitchell has scoring moves he has already shown. He isn't avoiding contact at the rim (he just doesnt know how to draw whistles yet). He can score on all 3 levels. He is a threat to pull-up off the dribble. His repertoire is so much more skilled and diverse than Dante's which is why he has a longer leash. Quin knows this dude can get buckets.

slight exaggeration but mostly agree, particularly his first year. Mitchell has come into the league just so much more skilled. I think this year Dante would have had a lot more free reign, i think he would have gotten free throws at a rate that would have surprised a lot of people.

I think they're both going to be terrific contributors for the Jazz.

WE might have the best defense in the league this year.

Having said that, we might have one of the worst offenses in the league this year.

We desperately need a shooter. We'd be a championship contender with Klay Thompson, Booker, or Bradley Beal.

Yes. All the Jazz need is one shooter to become a champion.

You know Jazz fans it is ok to say DM sucked in the first half and still marvel at his little run and be excited about him. I know it is four games and DM is being asked to play PG but I found myself yelling for Quinn to take him out when he was 1-10. Always defending players even when they play bad makes Jazz fans look like homers. Every player has bad games doesn't mean they suck.

I think DM should be moved back to the bench once Hood comes back and he can be the man on the second unit. He needs to sit next to the coach and get some in game coaching. P.S. I thought Neto played pretty solid for the minutes he played. I am still excited about DM, just feel his leash needs to be shortened when he is 1-10.

I didn’t say that. Try reading next time.

You know its ok to watch a guy grow and develop yeh?

Ever consider your expectations are the problem?

You do know that EVERY player is slower than Dante right?
The leash is longer cause this team has more holes and no Hayward. Oh, and Mitchell knows he's not a pg. Dante knows he is - despite Quin and Locke arguing he is not.

who said that ?

Eenie Meenie I think.

Regarding whether any of our players would have a 30 point game this year...

Rudy should have at least one. Hood better have more than one. Mitchell may have one later in the season.

Ok, Rudy, now it's your turn.
