I don't see 5+ assists either, 4 max.
I think he'll have more points on lower efficiency than the seemingly consensus opinion around here.
That's my bet, lock it in.

The Jazz have so much talent and they share the ball so much that it's hard for me to see him getting 25-27 PPG. I have no doubts that he could average that... I just think he's a team guy and he'll be sharing the ball. It's all about getting W's.
The team is exactly the same except for Allen. He was a team player last year too, and still put up 24 or so after he got going. To me with improved shooting and more experience, he will naturally score more.

I think that if the Jazz are a 1 or 2 seed at the all star break both Rudy and DM will make the all star game.
If they are a 3 or 4 seed then one of them probably makes it while the other gets left off.
If they are a 5 seed or lower then both might miss.

No, it's not the same team. There is a lot more depth at PG and the wing positions. From December on, his scoring, by month, was between 21 and 23 pts (he never averaged 24) and his shooting averages were right around 44%/34%. December was probably his most efficient month, which makes sense because he was then a marked man for the rest of the season. We'll see how much of an effect the seemingly greater emphasis on getting the ball inside to Rudy has on Mitchell's scoring. I also hope a better team allows him to play <33mins/per. Probably not, but he could use the rest.

From what I've gathered Quin expects to play at a faster pace this year, considering Don was up to 3.7 as a rookie, he should be able to add one more assist a game easy.

That’d be awesome. But the assists are really passed around in this offense. He’ll have too many nights with 0-3 to average 5 or more imo.
He is a good passer though, and that’s what I care about.

Three lobs to Gobert per night. Two passes to a SG (Allen) who can actually hit a shot. Seems doable.
His assist will probably go up. Ignore-season is a good indicator I don’t expect a big up-turn in points for sure. I also think making the All Star team will be very tough because the west is stacked, and the Jazz start of the season is tough prior to All Star break. He deserves it, I just don’t think it’s happeningg next season. Rudy maybe, but records gotta be there which will be tough with the early schedule for both.

Yeah I see what you mean, I wouldn't be shocked either way tbh.

I'm going to leave this here (by Zach Harper):
"As a catch-and-shoot 3-point shooter, Mitchell knocked down 40.6 percent of his attempts. When he shot pull-up 3s, that accuracy plummeted to 29.3 percent. He took far too many pull-up 3s, keeping from truly threatening the defense consistently with his outside shot. As a spot-up shooter, Mitchell rated as one of the best in the NBA. Synergy Sport clicked him in at 127.1 points per 100 spot-up possesions and 48.9 percent from deep. For players with at least 200 spot-up possessions, only CJ McCollum and Anthony Tolliver scored more efficiently than Mitchell."
