What’s with the hate for Donovan Mitchell?

[YoungJefe]

He has never been in trouble on or off the court.

Is widely respected around the league by other superstar talent.

Put the team on his back from Day 1 after Hayward bolted for Boston.

Why is it that he receives so much hate? I’m generally curious.

Does he give full or even good effort at all times when he plays basketball for the team?

It’s not some huge mystery why people have cooled on him the last few years.

Define "so much hate."

I think a lot of the people you think are Donovan haters are not Donovan haters.

It bothers me to play with or watch people who jack up a ton of shots on one end and put no effort on the other. He came into this league with talk of him being great at D, but he just stopped trying.

Additionally, while he is amazing at getting to the basket I feel like his passing is below par and more often than not you see him taking a horrible shot over 2+ people. He just doesn’t seem to make others around him better.

Those are the reasons why I don’t think he is good enough to build around to be a title contender.

But, you asked why people don’t like him. If I met him I’m sure he would wind up being an awesome guy… but from the outside looking in he seems to be driven by a PR firm. Like everything he does or says seems like it’s been overly orchestrated.

I just want people to know what they're dealing with before responding to a troll.

 

[YoungJefe]

Jazz fans say they want a superstar and then we get one and the fanbase hates him. Imagine if we had LeBron.

Agreed. You go first.

I don’t hate him, I just believe I’ve seen enough to know he’s not going to get us to where we need to go. It was an eye sore watching this offense because he stopped or regressed in his playmaking. He wasn’t good in late game sItuations. I’m just ready for change. I also wanted Gobert gone
