That's not what Steve said, that's what you said as per the actual quote. Talk about spin. Do you want to discuss what the definition of "is" is?
@LogGrad98
Nope
Um, ok. No spin there. No way that "being given credit for everything" could be conflated with "praising". Nowhere near the same thing. Ok then. Carry on.
Actually, it’s a 40% chance at a top 3 pick. . .
Mitchell has been in the top 23 of All NBA voting the last four seasons (so every season but his rookie year when he was in the top 33).
Would’ve loved to see him added to the team that knocked the Thunder out of the playoffs. Adding Pat Beverley to that group instead of blowing it up would’ve been fun.
Whatever you need your definitions to be for your argument - I know what I said, and you should have known what I meant.
You're on the wrong planet.
There are examples of good draft picks all over the draft. And the analytics would suggest that those are the exception, particularly once you get below the 3rd pick. Hope we get a good pick or two and hope they end up great but those are the exception.
I never attacked him because he got praised! I attacked him because people were saying too much good stuff about him!
My point was simply that you have to scout well, but getting a top 3 pick means every single one of those players was available. I didn’t include #1 and #2 picks. Just 3+. Jazz have to be a bottom 4 team to get those odds, but that’s what it takes to get a pick like that.
I agree, he hasn't been close.
Mitchell is about on the midpoint of a line connecting Ellis and Curry.
I can post the numbers comparing Curry to Mitchell again, but they were ignored with the argument of do the research and look at the numbers.
Donovan Mitchell averaged 23.9 points, 4.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds in 345 games in his first 5 seasons.
