Start Mitchell at the Point.

Mitchell is our best offensive player. Last night proved it and told us what we already know. The offense is way better with him on the floor and ball in hand.

He's 13th in usage this year among qualifying players. The ball is in his hands a lot regardless of who is on the court with him. If anything, the Jazz should get players who can take the ball out of his hands a bit and help him be a more efficient player.

Yep, so put guys around him who can shoot instead of Bricky and Do Me a Favors Learn to Shoot. We know Gobert can't shoot but his other qualities make him worth keeping around.

Play him at PG, keep the same usage, and surround him better.

The team is better with Rubio at PG this season. It's a statistically backed fact. You morons can drool over a one game sample, but there more than 1 game has been played this season.

Not only that, Mitchell's stats are better this season (and were last season as well) with Rubio on the court vs Rubio off the court.

But spoiler alert for you: Yes, the Jazz are going to look great these next couple of weeks (and rest of the season). It won't be because Mitchell is the PG, it's going to be because the schedule is home heavy and easy.

Did I say Royce O'Neale was going to shoot 12 threes every game? It's just a big step for a guy who has been hesitant to shoot at times.

And I'm not wrong on any of this.

Again, point out any time I said DM cant be a successful PG in the NBA. You're adopting Lopo level of being a moron by taking the "Mitchell shouldn't be the PG" argument completely out of context.

Mmmkay... “making DM a pg would be moronic”

Then dm plays pg and the offense is really good in two straight games... “guys I never said he can’t be a successful pg”

I may have misunderstood what you meant but when you say it’d be moronic to make him a pg then declare you never said anything that can or should be interpreted as DM can’t play pg and anyone who interprets it that way is a moron... Then wtf you trying to say then... I’m done man you’re the worst.
 
I’m tired of seeing Mitchell just stand in the corner for more than one possession in a row. We’ve seen him get in a rhythm having the ball every single time, and setting up the offense every time. He’s very much a rhythm player, which is why he’s so much better in the second half, as he does run the offense a lot more later in the game.

You know I was much more nuanced about the Mitchell at PG vs SG than that. We discussed it in great detail in this thread: https://jazzfanz.com/threads/if-not-rubio-then-what.98560/

I know you read it because you responded throughout. So you are currently just boiling down my thoughts to something you can argue against and win, just like Lopo does because he has nothing else.

Every player does this. It's called rest. You can't be on-ball every player running the offense, again, unless you are James Harden/Westbrook and want to be burnt out come playoff time and have terrible off-ball and defensive habits.

Well I was exaggerating a little, but I’ve seen him go tons of possessions during long stretches where he’s barely involved in the offense because Rubio and Ingles are taking their turn at running the offense (too many hands in the cookie jar) that when he does get the ball he feels he needs to force the issue instead of letting the game come to him, but does the exact opposite when he’s starting or being the primary ball handler for long stretches.

I don’t feel the need to shoot out numbers. I see this with my own GD eyes. Eyes don’t lie, numbers do
