gotcha. it's a big difference - again especially considering curry was always injured and had that leap in him if he could get healthy.
Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date
I think injury limited his availability but not his shooting %'s. His 3 pt %'s were actually even better his first 5 years.
He just didn't shoot anywhere close to as many 3's as he should've on a per possession basis. Once he did, it propelled him to one of the greatest players of all-time status. Mitchell's already been shooting a high volume of 3's (and obviously isn't in the same stratosphere as Curry in terms of 3%).

nobody should ever compare donovan mitchell to steph curry. curry is arguably a top 10 player of all time. donovan is very good - he will play in a lot of all star games, but likely won't finish his career in the top 100 of all time.

you just highlighted why TS% is a superior stat to eFG. what his injury limited was his athleticism - his TS% jumped so much once he got healthy because he was able to get to the line. his FT rate jumped by about 50% from his first four seasons to the rest of his career. you can't have a complete picture of offensive efficiency if you ignore a guy's ability to shoot and make FTs.

That actually hurts your argument. Don, who is a great offensive weapon, probably isn’t scoring as much his first couple years if there were better offensive options on the team. Ellis took shots and opportunities away from Curry.

Holy **** - a couple percentage points better when he is surrounded by better offensive players.
You got me guys. Steph was on another planet his first 5 years. No comparison at all.
You lame asses will do anything to downgrade Donovan Mitchell. You just hate the guy. So pathetic for so called fans. You guys would rather lose on purpose than support Donovan Mitchell. You are disgraceful fans.

As you know, using PPG, RPG, APG, to make overall comparison is foolhardy. Efficiency matters. Role matters.

Saying Mitchell isn’t Curry isn’t hateful, spiteful, or downgrading him. It’s just stating the obvious.

Helps Curry's efficiency when he's not being the focus of attention.
Pick an argument guys. You can't take every angle.
Don has been the absolute focus of our opponent's defense for 4.5 years. What he has done, has been pretty legendary. But keep on bashing him lame *** fans.

I made a mistake. It's actually a big difference (55.3% to 51.2%).
I don't know if you're aware of how you come off when you do this. There's good points being made and instead of addressing them, you just throw a tantrum. It's childish as hell.

4%. Holy ****. 4%. Did that help him get to the playoffs every year?
Didn't think so....
