Brian Windhorst impressed with Donovan Mitchell

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Wade isn’t “much bigger” than Mitchell.

He has a 4 or 5 inch advantage in vertical reach iirc, so its pretty significant.

PSA:

Super Star shouldnt be used as a term to describe ability. Its a term to describe marketability.

I don't put George in the group with LeBron, KD etc.
He can't get out of the 1st round of the playoffs even with a good supporting cast

PG is elite on offense and defense, I do

Mitchell already kicked George's *** in the playoffs.

Mitchell’s 46.1/45.1/82.7 post all-star break was pretty sick. If we can see 45/41/85 on 6.0 3 attempts and 6.5 fta’s per game over a whole season, I’d be stoked.

 

[Miggs]

Wade averaged 8.6 or more free throw attempts per game seven times in his career and 9.8 or more four times. Sick. I don’t think we’ll ever see that because Donovan just doesn’t have that one footed explosiveness but if he can average 8.0 a game (he did in April’s short month) with the % in my previous post, we have a special player.

 

[Miggs]

Over the last five seasons Klay has averaged about 47/42.5/85 with minimal free throw attempts.

I have never been able to shake my idea of Klay being a very, very rich man's Wally Szczerbiak.

Awesome to see this, but I am kind of bummed that a lot of the praise coming out of camp seems to be for DM's leadership rather than his on court play.

Also, right now there are only 6 Superstars (combination of both marketing and ability): Lebron, Harden, Curry, KD*, Kwahi & Giannis. Think of it this way, if the entire NBA was being redrafted for a playoff series, who could you select #1 and not be mocked. There are lots of other really good players (AD, PG13, Joker, Embiid, etc) but they are clearly a step down.
* I gave KD honorary Superstar status even though with his injury he will no longer have the ability (but I don't think the shine has worn off yet).

I feel ya. I think he is a bit over rated
I think a good chunk of his splashiness is due to steph

If Mitchell improves on his 36.2% three point percentage this season his game is going to be next level. The D-Wade comparisons have always been accurate and Mitchell is showing he's superior to Dwayne on offensive (from an entire offensive game aspect). If he can get on Wade's defensive level... HOF.

Hey, it's DWY-ane.

Thanks for the correction. Now go through this entire forum and address all other grammatical errors as well.

I remember watching the jersey swap and thinking Dwade looked bigger than Mitchell, a little more than I thought he would.

Way ahead of you.

By the way that wasn't a grammatical error really. It was a spelling error.

Your welcome.

Looks like 6'2" vs 6'4"

Thoughts?





Clippers could be damn good this next year.

Conley was one of the most underrated players last year!

Looks about right to me.

(Which is a reason I think he should eventually be our nominal-PG and we should be grooming him as such)

Isn't that colton's job? I guess you could compliment him.
