Donovan Mitchell NASTY Jazz Debut Highlights vs Spurs (2017.07.03) Summer League - 23 Pts, 5 Ast!

That's a wrap folks. We got the next Dwayne Wade , let's guess how many championships we win.

"using your expiring assets to add depth to the squad rocks the boat too violently and may destroy our delicately balanced beamed cakk bakk" - me
 
Lillard on O, Bradley on D. Have not been this excited about a Jazz draft pick since...... well, never.
 
I'm thankful that there are still NBA people that thing like LogGrad and viewed him as an undersized 2. He should've been taken over Monk and Kennard, easily. Two way players > one way...and Mitchell doesn't just have the tools/potential to be good on defense, he IS good on defense. There's no projecting.

His floor is a highly capable defender with a good shot. His ceiling? I'm not gonna say Wade, bc Wade is one of the best 2-guards of all time, but maybe a rich man's Oladipo? I love this kid.

his shot is gonna be pure, IMO. I'm not even slightly worried about his offensive trajectory.
 
I think this is a case where scouts got all hung up on his size-for-position and missed a lot of compensating upside. Size is more a factor on D than O, and holy crap, his D is clearly top-tier.

2020 DND backcourt: Donovan and Dante.

His size is great though, it's just his height that isn't. 6'10 wingspan, 210 lbs and strong. Idk what people were thinking.
 
Big difference between him & Hood is that this kid will still be able to contribute if his shot isn't going.
