Starting next season, yes. He will struggle against more talented teams this year, but he's learning to slow down and let the game come to him at PG. Need to get a shooter in the lineup with him (Allen, maybe sign a SG) next year. This season will be a good opportunity to continue to learn and with Rubio out he will get extended minutes. Next season let Rubio go elsewhere, and Mitchell takes over at PG.
Start Mitchell at the Point.

He looked like he was having a lot of fun.

Yeah but Mitchell gives you attack at the rim, Rubio doesn't.

So we’re trading Gobert?

Really? Rubio shoots that percentage on wide open threes. Mitchell shoots that percentage even though he often has to beat the shot clock and he probably has one miss a game from half court "just give it a chance" threes.
This comparison really should never be made.

Not to mention he was shooting 29% just last week. Also, teams dare Rubio to shoot threes, that’s not the case for DM. Rubio is basically a spot up shooter from three. Mitchell is coming off screens, step back, off the dribble and so forth.

Plus he was already struggling at shooting guard this year too. So was the team btw.
Sure he will have struggles at point guard. He is a 2nd year player and will have struggles at either position.
I think that the jazz will be better with a point guard that can shoot running the position.

What he should have said is that he is sick of defenses not defending our point guard when Rubio is playing the position.

It’s funny how guys on here let their butt cheeks do the flapping. I know it’s a small sample size but Mitchell has played better at pg. I feel it’s his natural position

Just like there’s more than one way to skin a cat, there’s more than one way to play pg. we’ve never had an attacking pg before.

Based on watching him, he doesn't seem to hate it. Appeared to be quite comfortable last night, having a good time.
