You're underestimating this site Stoked.

Sorry y'all. I work with some very...special people every single day. The most special I have ever met. And over time it has given me the annoying habits of being repetitive, controlling the convo and just assuming I am dealing with special people all the time.

Ugh,

It may come down to Exum's or Burks getting rotation minutes. I don't think they are going to sit Mitchell.

If Burks is healthy, great. If he can stay healthy, great. Same goes for Exum. But I think Rubio, Hood, and Mitchell are going to get rotation minutes from the first game on.

 

[Jack Strop]

Let's quit with the talk of trading him for an asset and give him a chance, and see what happens. If it looks like he's not going to contribute, then we can have this conversation. He deserves that chance.

Agree.
1. He has very little trade value right now.
2. He'd only be dealt if Hood re-signs and/or Mitchell shows he can be the starting SG.

 

[gregbroncs]

Which would be true for a lot of posters. I rarely see posters that dislike Burks. He has had bad injuries and is an ISO player on a team that moves away from that mostly. But let's see what happens. [MENTION=40]Siro[/MENTION] has the right approach.

This, I don't hate Burks. I just don't think he fits or is more than an average backup quality player on a team that he does fit on.

While I hope Mitchell is as good as we hope, let's not crown him the rotational minutes just yet before he's played a single minute against NBA level talent. I agree he will be a rotational player, but we haven't actually seen anything yet. I hope we aren't get ahead of ourselves in our assumptions. All signs point to rotational minutes, imo... but what do I really know?

Heres what we do know ,some guys act like he's going to be a instant star based off his SL play.In Vegas he averaged *28 ppg on 25 spg*,thats alot of chucking and he shot 36%.Snyder and team mates aren't going to let him chuck up 25 spg shooting 36%. We know he shoots alot but he needs to put it in the basket.

Granted he's a great athlete but expect him to be much shorter going against NBA SG's.How's he going to shoot better in the NBA when he shot 36% in Vegas SL play.If Jazz have to scrap and hustle for wins this year do they allow a Rookie who is still trying to find the bottom of the basket efficiently get alot of minutes.
I think with good shooting comes his PT this year because Jazz won't allow him to volume shoot.

I'm already way ahead of myself, and it feels great. I think his two-way game and physical tools earn him rotation minutes before training camp is over. He's already got advantages over Exum (on offense) and Burks/Hood (on defense).

Dude is going to have a sick rookie year.

I'm not sure why anyone expects Mitchell to volume shoot in the regular season. They asked him to take the lead in SL because he was far and away the most talented guy on the squad.

Didn't take much to be the most talented guy on the Jazz team after Jazz sat Exum down ,yet with the green light to shoot ,he shot 36 % in Vegas SL,pretty poor shooting for a stud ballplayer.

Yeah, it was so awful I had to eat a second sandwich that day.

Lmfao, yes his % was low but you're trying to hard. Also he did play against NBA talent. Like Fultz and Tatum. He shouldn't be given anything, he has to earn it.

But please don't go on some anti Mitchell crusade. just enjoy the show and let's see what he's got. Also let people have some hope and fun Debbie.

Two completely different takes, and we have so little to go on either could be right.
I do hope for the second because so far he seems like a stud.

It is SL though. With how disorganized things are you pretty much have to create your own shot every time. I wouldn't read too much into percentages from SL. If you watched his shot, it is pretty smooth. I'm no expert, but I don't think there will be much tweaking on it other than taking a billion shots with the same motion.

You're super cute when you're trying to stir something up.

Sorry I disliked one of your posts.

 

[framer]

Are people forgetting that Mitchell averaged 6 freaking steals per game? How about the time where Tatum scored, stared down the Jazz bench, then our combo guard completely shut him down the rest of the game? Even if Mitchel only scored half as much, there would be plenty to be excited about.

Don't be sorry. I don't care about the dislike, but understand now you want more feedback on your posts as well. If you want I can continue to give you my honest feedback on what I read of yours instead of not responding.

I also thought I'd give you a little of what you were fishing for, a reaction. I appreciate you find me cute, from one stirrer to another, but know I do not have a man bun.

I might start up a thread in general just to get a conversation started, and think you might be interested. It's about being oppositional, but who knows where it could go from there.

Interested? If so, respond with some inane comment and I'll take that as a yes. I'm 50/50 on the decision, but your interest could tip the scales.

Thanks

He may have been the most talented guy on the team even when Exum was playing.
