This is what I meant when I said in my scouting report/notes I said that I won't be surprised if he gets to shoot 40% from 3 at some point, even though his % right now don't indicate that. His shot is extremely quick and smooth. If he improves his shot selection. I think he has a chance to be a very good shooter.

I just remembered Louisville was the school that got caught for hosting recruiting visits with hookers. I wonder how many recruit hookers Mitchell smashed at Louisville.

I'm not sure this has been discussed yet. And yes I know it doesn't have anything to do with Mitchell, but I wasn't sure where else to post.

Spence Checketts of 1280 the zone posted on Twitter yesterday that two other names that the Jazz strongly considered on draft night were OG Anunoby and Frank Jackson.

So smooth. Rarely even touches the rim.

Quin knows.

If memory serves me... Wasn't Russell Westbrook also a 6'3" explosive athletic freak who needed to hone his PG skills and shooting at the NBA level?

Just stoking the fire

SMs shot and D are already better than RWs. Fire further stoked.

Here's a bit more video of Donovan working out(some dunks in addition to the beautiful jump shot):

Coach Nick will not like his shooting... he's doing the 1-2 almost exclusively. No hop.

Can he finish with his left?

I have seen him in scenarios where it would be advantageous to finish with the left hand yet he lays it up with his right instead.

From what I saw on the DX Highlights and Weaknesses videos finishing with either hand inside of 4-ft has room for improvement. But that was part of the reason the jazz loved him at 13, they thought he still had room to develop.
