*OFFICIAL* 17 on 26, Donovan Mitchell is the Monta Ellis watch thread

DM is the best, he is completely different from Ellis in that he is a complete player. He can play great D when required. All the hate he is getting is crazy. Future MVP

Do we know that he is a worker and cares? He seems to have worked hard coming into the league and during last season, but that was when he was trying to earn a spot in the league and secure a future for hm and his family. The motivation is very different now and to be honest this summer it doesn't seem like he was much of a workhorse. I mean, he obviously put in work, but we don't know that it was more than an average player.

As for the care factor, I don't think that a recently return missionary (so they aren't biased by last year) would watch this year and think DM has a high care factor or joy/love for the game (as opposed to Rudy). I remember him last year being hungry and energetic. Think of all the rim highlights, or pushing in the open court, or second effort plays from last year. This year they are basically gone. He went from being somewhat comparable to Westbrook, to just an average dude.

Again, he was in a walking boot for the majority of the summer. All I have seen from him is that he cares immensely about his team, teammates, and winning. He sometimes shoulders too much of the load and presses a bit, but that's not Carmelo-syndrome, he's trying to spark his team and isn't afraid of the moment. Also, he has been given the green light by Quin to be the primary scorer. Look at any primary Alpha on any team and tell me how many shots they average on any given night. It's a lot.

I forgot about that boot he had, that's a good point. I agree, DM has a winning attitude, he will work harder on his efficiency, its early on in his second year after all. I'm not worried about him

Wow future MVP big call. Especially cause he's never going to be the best player on his team. I say no
