in new orleans he was. i was thinking more the utah version. by cy reminded me in another thread to take into account scoring and efficiency inflation and with that, he's in that group, but probably not better yet than most of those guys.
Mitchell had such a nice looking shot. The way he got perfectly vertical and balanced with his legs stood out. It’s weird he never quite became an elite shooter. I think it was his touch, more mechanical than feel. Didn’t have that ineffable quality to push the ball in the great ones do.
IMO, the best comparison to Key’s current level/trajectory is Garland. Key is going to fall short in analytical comparisons to most guys because of defense, but you could convince be he’s just regular bad and not one of the worst in the league. Garland’s career has taken a turn for the worse, but he was a year 3 all star.

That’s true, but on the other hand he’s our only threat that can create for himself so should be getting the brunt of attention from opposing teams already. A better team around him should make things easier for him.

Mitchell's terrible floater probably accounts for the entire difference in the true shooting percentage between the two. Hated when he took that shot.
The crazy thing to me is Key's high backboard action like he was hitting over Gobert. That is an eight year pro bag, for a good shooter, not something a 22 year old should be hitting.
