The Jazz have acquired the 13th pick and select Donovan Mitchell

Also broke the record for most 3pt'ers missed.
His inefficiency might be cause for concern going forward. But I'm 99% positive it's something he'll focus on this summer.

Moved up for undersized and offensively limited. OK. Yawn I guess?

Undersized, inconsistent shooting the ball. Im glad we dumped Lyles but not overly thrilled about this guy. Mabye he can make up for it with athleticism so it gives me some hope, but yeah kind of mixed on the pick

Bull **** I have been anything but pessimistic all season

This offseason I am very negative, starting tonight (I was previously hopeful). I think that there is good reason to be negative. It would be awesome to get a fairytale ending but this is shaping up to be a tragedy.

Anyone else thinks his body language during his first interviews was very unauthentic?

Repent for your sins
 
Thanks for that gift god of basketball! Before Spida, I was a bit jealous about some teams which picked youngs players like giannis, booker quite far in the draft. But Now, I woudnt change Donovan for anybody. This kid have everything we can hope, everything... he is gonna be great, a legend for the jazz. He is special and I think We really don't realise how much we are lucky to have this kid. Please god of basketball keep him healthy

And he still shot 34% from 3, which is respectable for any rookie. His efficiency will improve, but I think having Ricky pulling a full year of what he did in the second half of last year will only help take some pressure off of DM. I was surprised how good that backcourt was when Ricky started firing.
 
Denver would be scary with DM. Taking that away from a division rival for the next 10+ years is huge.
Jokic/DM/Harris...pretty nasty young core.
 
The challenge now is for DL to build a contender around Mitchell. I remember Deron saying all the right things...and then he turned sullen and bitchy. I think a lot of that was due to him realizing he couldn't attract stars to Utah. I just hope the same doesn't happen down the road with Donovan, if the Jazz can't attract another 1-2 players to make Utah a contender.

I think his inefficiency is a symptom of a game plan that was thrown together once we realized he could score 20+pts a night and he was just told to go score, because we needed someone to score. I think next year there will be a better game plan and his efficiency will go up. He won't be a career high volume/low efficiency guy. He's way, WAY too smart for that.
 
Completely unfair to the organization but of the 21st pick this year doesn’t turn into someone like Malone/Stockton/Bird/Magic/LeBron/Jordan ...I’m going to be highly disappointed...
