Mitchell, the next Damian Lillard but with defense

[fishonjazz]

Don't forget that in Deron's rookie season Sloan stubbornly refused to feature him and played scrubs like Milt Palacio over him. Deron didn't begin flourishing until the end of his rookie season, when Miller finally forced Sloan to play him, and then his second year.

The milt palacio/keith mccleaod debacle.

You didn't see the game tonight, did you? 26 points and some unbelievable plays, including a clutch 3-pointer near the end that sealed the game for the Jazz. He had one outstanding play after another.

mate i love the guy and think he's going to be awesome .. but all star this year ??? lol

 

[Tom Pitt]

But I was the one who first said he will become a hybrid of Dame on Offense, Avery Bradley on Defense. #irrational_exuberance

I said the combo guard version of Kawhi... too early?

I thought he'd be able to create shots like CJ McCollum and some people had compared him to Eric Gordon, but the way he gets downhill is really special, even compared to those two.

 

[Miggs]

I thought he had great potential from the first shooting practice video I saw. Prior to that I was a little concerned about his shooting percentages in college, if I recall correctly.

I'm still concerned about his shooting.

I'm not. I think he shoots like Eric Gordon or Jet Terry.

Hey, here's an interesting highlight mix from last night. Notice Derrick Favors' passing on some of these plays.

Minus the ability to hit from the perimeter.

Gobert looks like he's rolling to the hoop with more force/intent than last year. Maybe I just never looked close enough.

Well, yeah. There's actually a chance he'll get the pass now.

NBA 3 is a different creature. Mitchell will adjust. Generally rookies don't light it up from 3, there is a adjustment period. Mitchell's shout is quick and easy which is generally what Rookies have to relearn in the league.

Yeah, I heard him yell AND1! and I'd probably put him on Boozer level. His shout is NBA ready.

He didn't shoot well in college either.

His shooting percentage might not be good, but he can score in many ways. What was he, 10-20 last night, but 2-9 from 3.

He took tough shots in college, wanted to take over ganes and stand out. I remember hearing he was in the 95th percentile when it came to spot up 3s.

Gobert's man hangs back sooo far on the Rubio Gobert PNR that Gobert gets a ton of momentum to the rim.

That baseline 3 Mitchell hit, where he crossed the floor and quickly squared off the feed from Joe Johnson was a very advanced shot. That's Jeff Hornacek or Terry Porter-level shooting.

There was a catch and shoot pullup 3 by Mitchell against the Suns (that obviously wasn't televised so not sure where to find it) but was really incredible. If I remember right it was a fastbreak kickout pass that was very low and he caught it and seemingly all in one motion stopped on a dime and pulled up and drained it.

EDIT: Found it at 1:20 mark

Gordon who? Rodney who? Alec who? We got our star and it’s DM! Incredible. That was the kind of performance you HOPE to see in the regular season maybe.

That was an impressive stop and gather.

Who was that who passed it to him?

Is there a video on demand of the Jazz Lakers preseason game anywhere? I missed it due to work conference and would like to catch it.
