Mitchell, the next Damian Lillard but with defense

[fgcamel]

Well I’ve liked him since conception.

To be perfectly honest DM's arrival is bigger news than GH's departure to me.

There is a channel on YouTube that a kid dressed up as a nerd plays streetball. Reminded me of Gordon.

I think we are all pretty excited about him. I think he's having the best summer of any rook since Deron. In the game tonight I kept wanting the team to give him the ball. Not because I wanted to give him experience, but because I wanted to win the game!

This says volumes, IMO. I felt the same way.

I actually liked him from the first interview I saw of him. Just seemed so poised and charismatic.

So, I'm an oddball of the group. It was his offcourt stuff that first got me going. Watching him play has kept me there though.

I thought he had great potential from the first shooting practice video I saw. Prior to that I was a little concerned about his shooting percentages in college, if I recall correctly.

I actually introduced his parents to each other because I felt they had the perfect combination of genes. Plus I bet his dad 50 bucks he couldn't seal the deal, just to get things moving.

Whaaaat? You have a short memory. I love Mitchell and I agree that the kid is going to be an all star, but DWill was great in his first rookie game against Dallas. The reason why Williams wasn't as hyped is because he was playing behind milt "captain crunch pilacio

Deron had trouble getting to the rim when he was a rookie. He got better as the season went on, but he came into the league getting rejected constantly on his attempts at the rim. I think it might be your memory that is selective.

Don't forget that in Deron's rookie season Sloan stubbornly refused to feature him and played scrubs like Milt Palacio over him. Deron didn't begin flourishing until the end of his rookie season, when Miller finally forced Sloan to play him, and then his second year.

But I was the one who first said he will become a hybrid of Dame on Offense, Avery Bradley on Defense. #irrational_exuberance[/URL]

Well, to begin with, getting excited about some guys in shorts running around and throwing a ball into a hoop, is a bit irrational, don't you think? Time will tell how good he will be. Life is full of surprises. Rudy is our first big surprise; no one ever expected him to be as good as he has become. You could say Ingles is the second, but nothing DM does is going to surprise us now.

I thought you didn't understand this thread? That's what you said in your deducting from my rep. I'm calling you out for your fake ALT. Why do people have to be such a-holes? I know I should just ignore it.

So DWade had an 8'6" standing reach and measured out at over 6'4". That makes it harder to compare Mitchell to Wade, but I can see some Lillard and maybe some young Bledsoe.
