Yeah, he is getting a lot of minutes anyways.
Starting minutes are harder than an equal amount of minutes coming off of the bench. Don't want to burn him out.

the rookie wall is incredibly overrated. most rookies have better second halfs of the season that first half because they improve over the course of the season. the rookie wall is about as realistic as Donald Trump's wall.
Meh, i disagree. The rookie wall is like bigfoot - there is no shortage of folks who discuss it, but there is a glaring lack of evidence that it actually exists.Yeah. Most rookies start on the bench with limited roles though. As the season goes on, rookies find their way and because of injuries or trades they find their way on the floor more. Dante Exum for example floors he'd after the trade deadline. Before that he was parked in the corner.
Mitchell is on a different path than most rookies. Even though he is coming off of the bench now, he is a major contributor so far. The energy he plays with is abnormal for a first year NBA player. He plays like a sprinter when the NBA season is a marathon, of which he has never run. The rookie wall is going to hit him hard imo. But not so hard in his second year...or third year...

Hood seems to have already hit it.
"Mitchell is really great, I didn't know him before. He was in Chris Paul's camp. Chris said, 'This guy is really good' and guess what, he is. He's playing super. He's going to be super. He's got a great game."
I have to apologize, i think mitchel needs to start. doesnt matter who gets benched. mitchel needs to START RIGHT NOW!
this is me eating crow
Hey at this point try anything. Seriously why the **** not?
So has Mitchell legit won the starting job? It seems like he fits in better with the other guys and Hood has the green light to gun it when he comes in as the first sub.
I started touting him after the first summer league game and called it that he would be an All-Star.
1) no one cares
2) you weren't the first or only
3) shut up
Well, I was actually the first.
