Thread where we get way too hyped about Donovan Mitchell off-season workouts

[One Brow]

while i kindof understand that's also creepy mate ..

We all draw our inspiration from where it happens. Don't judge.

Why isn't he practicing 3's off the dribble - that's a weakness in his game?

Where's Jeff Hornacek - no Jazz player can ever improve his jump shot unless it's under the tutelage of Horny.

This video looks edited. I think he only made 3 shots, the rest was on a loop like in the movie Speed.

A video of DM practicing jumpers by a guy called "Brickley" ? That's bad karma - sophomore jinx guaranteed!

His toe was on the line on a couple shots. Great! Another Memo . The long two is the worst shot in basketball!!!!

Why is he not wearing Jazz shorts? What shorts are they? They look like New England Patriot throwback shorts to me..........Boston is in New England!!!!!

Next thing we know he'll start wearing a headband!

Okay everyone.....I love Donovan, I never said I didn’t. He’s a great person, and yes we are lucky to have him.....and tbh he’s probably the best teammate I’ve ever seen as well. I guess when you act how you act, words don’t mean much. You were all right, maybe Donovan shouldn’t be questioned after all he’s done.


As for the shooting vid, looks great, Donovan’s always had a pretty shot, without a doubt his percentage will improve this season. He’s come a long way from a kid who used to get told he couldn’t shoot.

Good lord that’s a beautiful stroke.
Makes me want to go do some stroking of my own

Classic Fish.

He made all teh shots... looks like 15 lbs of added muscle... other various overreactions!!!!!!!

If DM shoots 38ish % from three next year... with all the attempts he can get up... and starts getting the superstar whistle... I’m light headed.

You would pretty much have a better shooting James Harden that plays defense. That's a pretty decent piece to have. . .

Yeah, my fifteen year old daughter might have read that

and...?

and...?

I'm with cctrackstar. No need to go there. People here are creative and can surely find a way to get the point across without some of what is posted here.

Tbh, imo you have been the biggest supporter of Donovan of anyone. Don’t let these guys get to ya.

James Harden who plays great defense might be the best player in the league.

Wow dribbling and wide open 3's, all while Simmons and Tatum have been working on the complete package. Maybe he should spend more time on the court rather than interviews and award shows.

Also look at them chicken legs. Dude obviously skips leg day.

Are you being serious?....and if so....please. Fine tuning his 3s is something he needs to do, and as far as his legs, Donovan has one of the strongest bodies of any young player I’ve ever seen especially at his size, and it doesn’t happen on accident it comes from his work ethic. He’s doing just fine and it’s not like he’s posted his entire workout. If there’s one thing I certainly don’t question it’s Donovans work ethic and drive to improve himself. The Jazz are in better hands with Donovan as their face than they have been since Stockton and Malone. Seriously, let’s get half way through next season before we worry he didn’t work on enough. You have no evidence to say he isn’t going to improve dramatically next season until it actually happens.
