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

Kosta Lyles.

Solid trade. I like Mitchell as a prospect. I LOVE that we didn't give up a ton to move up. I'm just not jumping for joy because I think higher prospects on my board will be there at 24. Which makes me nervous.

And DL shave about a mill and a half off the books. Could be very handy when it comes to players like Hill.

So #13 (Mitchell) and 1.4 mill in space for Lyles and 24.

DL just crushed this.

Tony Jones of the Trib gives the trade an A.

I think Mitchell has a little Lillard in him.

Defensive beast already

I haven't seen anywhere that he is a lockdown defender. If he is despite his size then it's great.
I am not trying to **** on him at all. I was high on Trey Burke before we dumped 14 and 21 picks for him and don't want to get burnt again so when I see "questionable shot selection" in the scouting report I am genuinely unimpressed.

I made fun of the guys getting off the bus wearing white socks with their suits. And here the Jazz draft Mitchell and his colorful socks.

I'll see if I can find it. I may be quoting someone saying he has the tools. He is only 6'3 but has a wingspan

From DX ...

Perhaps the most appealing part of Mitchell's profile, particularly early on in his career, lies on the defensive end. Two years under Rick Pitino has benefited him greatly in this regard, as he's emerged as a multi-positional stopper who a coach can sic on point guards, shooting guards and even some small forwards and expect results. Mitchell has outstanding physical tools to get the job done, with his elite length, chiseled frame and quick feet, but also the mentality, as he's a highly competitive guy who is willing to pick up full court, get on the floor for loose balls, and generally make life difficult for opposing players. Mitchell has outstanding instincts off the ball, as evidenced by his 2.6 steals per-40 (#1 among all DX Top-100 prospects). Despite not possessing great height, his 6'10 wingspan is very difficult for opposing guards to shoot over, and he does a great job of getting underneath defenders, sliding his feet and using his strength to contain the ball.
