More Mitchell Love

So what is Mitchell at this stage, a streaky shooter, high end scorer with some serious swagger and clutch DNA?
It's hard to rationalise how good he can be when it seems to count most... but how much he can miss at other times.

Mind you his inside and mid-range game is pretty much money.

Countdown on Most 3 point makes by a Rookie: Post Warriors - 3/25/18

1.) Damian Lillard, Portland (12/13) - 185
2.) Donovan Mitchell, Utah (17/18) - 169
3.) Steph Curry, GSW (09/10) - 166

Donovan Mitchell (17/18) - with four more 3 pointers tonight brings his total to 169 and overtakes Curry for second place overall.

Needs 17 more to take over 1st.

8 games left to go. He needs to average 2.125 per game to do that. He’s been averaging 2.6 per game (on 7.3 attempts) since the win streak began back in January, but his shot has been off lately. He had three in 3 games, eight in the last two. The question now looks to be “when, not if” he breaks the record. What an unbelievable season. Looks like the Spurs woke the beast again.

I’m responding to this only because you mentioned clogging the paint.

I see this as an issue for our shooting. Defenses don’t have to clog the paint on Gobert because he stinks offensively so teams can play off him and on the perimeter shooters a little more.

That defensive scheme gives us the most trouble. Utah is living and dying off drive and kick. That doesn't work well with clog unless the 2 ball is falling.

Rookies never get better, so yes, pretty much this.
It's kind of scary to think what he may become next season, with an off-season to work on his 3PT shooting and conditioning. I just think he's hit a wall, averaging 30+ mins for a full NBA season. And the way he plays, he has to have tired legs at this point.
 
8 games remaining.

Donovan needs 2 three-pointers a game (and 3 at least one game) in order to beat Dame's record.
 
Countdown on Most 3 point makes by a Rookie: Post Celtics - 3/27/18

1.) Damian Lillard, Portland (12/13) - 185
2.) Donovan Mitchell, Utah (17/18) - 172
3.) Steph Curry, GSW (09/10) - 166

Donovan Mitchell (17/18) - with three more 3 pointers tonight brings his total to 172.

Needs 14 more to take over 1st.

7 games left to go. He needs to average 2.125 per game to do that. He’s been averaging 2.6 per game (on 7.3 attempts) since the win streak began back in January. Even though they lost, Donovan had a decent (if inefficient) night.
 
Mitchell way too inefficient. 7-20 in tonight's loss. And that inefficiency and the TO's contribute to the losses. Mitchell has had a terrible March. I choose Simmons.
