Sorry Jazz fans – Ben is the NBA Rookie of the Year

Okay, so you are just dumb.

The jazz would have lost without Rubio and Favours'
performances.

Its impressive that your arguments keep getting worse. But I guess you gotta reach to try and knock on a player after another big playoff performance.

Its not an either/or. Just because someone else played well does not mean someone else played bad. Every basketball game you could pick a couple players that you would have lost without. Favors and Rubio were also great this game.

Also I like that you have decided to misspell Favors name the British way.

The only advantage he has over simmons is he is much much more selfish than Simmons. Balls not dropping and he still kept shooting. He is a selfish chucker.
10 from 26 field goals and 0 from 7 for 3s. Favours and Rubio were better players tonight.

Your stupidity boggles the mind.

Donovan's stretch from the end of the third on was one of the great playoff performances of all time. Simmons should hope for something like that in his career.

Simmons is 7 feet tall now lol.

How could Simmons deal with Mitchell’s 75 inch vertical doe?

Simple he puts on I believe I can fly, then enjoys in aw like the rest of us average folks

I think guys get a bump in endorsement money on their existing contracts. Not sure if DM has that but it is a money thing for Ben.

I agree with the sentiment. It doesn’t mean much long term.

I also think we will see how Ben does in the playoffs as the top guy on a scouting report and see exactly how much being a non shooter will hurt him. There is a chance it is ugly.

Don't think DM will have any problems getting endorsements.

So much **** being said in this thread. Mitchell is ridiculous as a rookie but Simmons is on much higher level. The two are not comparable and half the suggestions as to why Mitchell is more deserving in this thread are a flat out insult to Mitchells team mates. With the exception of Embid no other player in the sixers starting line up is better than any other player in the Jazz starting line up and even then Embiid is only marginally better than Gobert. Any talk that Simmons has an advantage in this area is ridiculous as they don't come close, Mitchell is surrounded by far better players. The only real advantage Simmons has is he is surrounded by more shooters and to a certain extent that does help his assist numbers but that doesn't mean their better shooters score on every look Simmons creates for them. While a big reason as to why Simmons is surrounded by better shooters is he is worth being built around and is one of only a handful of guys in the league who it is worth building a team around. Simmons is a game changer and that is far more important than Mitchell who is clutch, Mitchell has the potential to get close to Simmons level in this area but to do that he needs to shoot pull up 3's at a greater percentage (currently shoots them around 30%). Needs to be able to shoot them at Dame levels.

Anyhow the biggest problem I have with this Mitchell ROY debate is the lack of respect it gives to Ingles and Rubio who are actually the more important players for our offense. They are the ones who run the offense, yes Mitchell scores more points but the offense is run through Ingles and Rubio and they do a better job of setting up their team mates than Mitchell does while also scoring at an efficient rate. Over time Mitchell will get better at running the offense and scoring more efficiently but for the time being he is still a rookie and has work to do before he is running the offense and not just scoring.

Who is the offense run through in crunch time? Not Ben Simmons. They can't give their pg the ball during that time and he's usually none existent. Mitchell on the other hand runs the O in crunch time, why? You ask, because he's not a liability and has proven to be clutch. If Simmons doesn't fix this he will be exposed as the years go by. There's a reason MCW is barely a blip on the radar, because he has obvious flaws, and Simmons same flaws are more glaring. I'm not saying MCW is a better player or even close in talent, but next year the book on Simmons will be out on him and he better improve fast.

What's mitchells flaws in his game? Very little. What's Simmons flaws? He cant shoot free throws or literally anything over 10 feet from the basket. Based on that you have a case for the Don to win it.

Karl Malone once said that if he were 0-20 shooting he'd put up 20 more shots. Thank god Mitchell kept shooting to lead us to victory

Take out Mitchell and it doesn't matter what they did. A lot of Favors rebounds happened because of all the attention Mitchell got, and I suspect it helped Rubio having Mitchell on the court. Otherwise defensive attention would've been more on Rubio and Favors. Mitchell helps this team in more ways then some of u troll *** idiots realize!! Also note Mitchell's defense on PG in the fourth quarter. Reminded me of when he guarded Tatum in SL and shut him down.

What a breathtaking performance tonight. Mitchell played like the beast he is. There's no doubt in my mind he doesn't average less then 25 points over the next ten years.

Mitchell destroyed the OKC Thunder on their home court on both ends of the court tonight. He carried the team offensively, lead the team defensively, and was the team leader to respond to a 3 headed all star.

CLUTCH CLUTCH CLUTCH! Ben Sinmons can't touch that! Stat stuffer, sure. But when it comes to the fourth who do you trust more? No question its Spida!!!

Just another record for Mitchell but who's counting

Actually the defense won it for the jazz in the 4th quarter. OKC missed something like 10 shots in a row which enabled the jazz to build to 6 six points lead at the end.

Ya, the 13 fourth quarter points had nothing to do with the jazz victory. Also, Mitchell guarded PG in the fourth, can u remind me how many points PG scored?

Just check the score box yourself, the big 3 of OKC all shot at a woeful % in this match. The tight defense is what won the jazz this match, not Mitchell's rubbish chucking.
