What Do You Think Donovan "A New Hope" Mitchell Is Going To Be?

[The Midnight]

Oh.. nice thread!!!


A tough one, my heart says Clear Cut Allstar, my head says Fringe Allstar.


I'm feeling optimistic today so let's go with Clear Cut All star. I mean, look at what we were able to achieve in coaching & developing Hayward, Donovan has the same potential if not more.

He'll be all-star quality but won't be able to break through because of the bigger name guards.

Mitchell will average 20 pts and lead the league in steals (not this year...in 2018/19).

he won't be able to break through a certain level cause he's 6 ft 3 ...

Better than Hayward.

Batman to Rudy's Batman.


Ain't no ****ing Robin in Utah.

I hope people dont turn on Mitchell if he struggles in his first season w/ all the hype he is getting.

Basically Dwyane Wade with tougher D.

I love when people say stuff like this. It equates to -- "he's basically like a hall of famer, but better"

I hear Utah has already started building his statue. Well, it's being repurposed from a Hayward rendition.

the more hood footage i watch back, and college/sl footage from mitchell i see, the more i believe mitchell will be the go-to guy sooner than later. if hood can become someone like rashard lewis was for the magic or detlef schrempf was for the sonics, it'd be gravy, but i dont think he'll reach that. mitchell has much more upside imo.

It seems one of the things that made D Wade such a monster was not only the athleticism in his prime but also how much muscle he has on his frame. I'm not sure Mitchell will be able to mirror the same amount of bulk but he looks strong.

You can see in the photo below how much more physically developed he is compared to Malik Monk. Also looks a lot stronger than Chris Paul who is a grown man. And kid has some long arms. Damn.

But then if you look at the picture of D-Wade below, this is what I mean by lots of bulk on that frame. Could Mitchell get there and would it be good for his game?

 

[Team Hood]

Really really good pro with tons of upside. Tough, gritty, can score it and loves to compete. He'll be a fun one to watch. Still a rook though so he'll go on the roller coaster ride just like any other rook. Either way, I'm excited to see what he can be.

 

[Tom Pitt]

Also worth noting that Mitchell doesn't have the same measurements as Wade though I've heard people like Spence Checketts say their measurements are identical. Not so.

Wade

Mitchell

basically wade is two inches taller and has a standing reach 5 inches higher and 3/4 inch more of a wingspan. though Mitchell has better vertical by about 5 inches but he's a 2 foot jumper.
