Mitchell, the next Damian Lillard but with defense

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

Not really, he was benched for a while. He didn't take off until mid-season. And even then he was nothing like Mitchell.

Addictionary, did you really just compare Michell to Fes? Like, Fesenko? The goofball who never cared? The guy who was smoking before practice, died his hair to piss off Sloan, and never scored more than about 10 ppg in a summer league game until maybe his third season?

That is hilarious. You should get your hopes up my friend. Attitude, passion, the minutes quien has played him already. Barring injury, Mitchell will be playing 4th quarter minutes by December is my guess.

Eenie, you must have been living in a box. There have been a million posts praising Mitchell. I went to all of the summer league games as many of us did and we said that Mitchell was the best rookie summer league player the jazz had ever had. Name one that played better since the summer league began.

Dat Fesenko comparison doh...

I agree and I said the same as you after seeing him play the first time. It was clear to me then that as another poster described it -- he has the "it" factor. I think I just was the first one to be so excited about him, that's what I am saying because when I started to make the Lillard comparison awhile back, people were telling me to temper my expectations, that this is only summer league, etc. You heard what Mark Jackson said last night about him -- "this kid can flat out play."

Agreed completely. While it is only pre-season and the Lakers, I cannot remember a rookie Jazzman look anything like this. Kid's got "it", talented, fearless, clutch.
 
Is there a limit to how many DM jerseys you can buy at each fanzz store? I feel like 15-20 may not be enough.

No no no no way. Lol. I was replying to Thee Jazz fan but obviously failed to do so. He was high on Fes too and learns from his experience of disappointment from Fes to not trust Mitchell. I tried to say that we should not measure backcourt players and frontcourt players the same scale of how much talent they can show early on.

Mitchell is already here. Dude arrived early. Just needs to gain experience that is all. The under the sea part of the iceberg a-comin’.
 
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.
