I think people are being a bit rose colored glasses with his rookie year just because relative to the later years it was better, but it was never good.

For being a 6'1 elite athlete with a huge frame and wingspan, he should be a suffocating defender. He should be a guy who can get into a jersey. He has never been that guy, and when you are undersized (under sized in terms of vertical length) you have to play that way and Donovan has never been able to. That and his defensive IQ is really poor. I think his best bet for being a more impactful defender is being in a more aggressive defensive system that encourages him to gamble more so he can at least improve his defensive playmaking ability.

I'm intrigued to see how he does defensively . . .is the "i spent all my energy on the offensive side" narrative reality? Or will he prove to be a **** defender in Cleveland as well? Remember, he has Jarret Allen backing him up like he had Rudy here.

I bet he still sucks, but I am curious to see how it shakes out.

The extent to which I've soured on this guy over the course of 5 years is unbelievable.

Well said.

When he got traded, I posted on Facebook “At best, Donovan Mitchell might be the biggest snake to ever wear the jersey. At worst, he intentionally dogged it last year and pulled **** to force himself out.”
 
Don's gone. Just let him be. He was good for the Jazz.
We may find out ourselves for a long long time longing for players/characters like him or Rudy.
Don't show kids around contempt for a young athlete that was a good model for them. IMHO it would be unhealthy, misguided.

Weird... I just think the Collin/JC fit is weird. They seem to really value guys that want to be here I guess.

I think it will play itself out so whatevs, if the fit with JC/Sexton works then I guess go for it.

Rudy, Joe, Favors and Rubio would beg to differ.
