Mitchell played really well. He's struggling on off the bounce threes, but very few players, especially rookie players, shoot those well. If he gets an off the bounce three shot down, then it's GG everyone. I want him to keep shooting. DONT EVER STOP SHOOTING MITCH.
People need to remember this guy isn't CJ Miles--he deserves to take all those shots he took. He could be an elite, hall of fame player. He could be the best jazz man since those guys they made statues out of. Anything could happen, but Mitchell's development should always be the primary goal. Playoffs are just a bonus. Also he played really well tonight. The Jazz went in to the fourth without Rubio and without Crowder--the first game without major rotation players, Hood and Johnson. You will have to give this team and especially the bench a chance to adjust to new rotations. And Mitchell made plays. He and Ingles and Gobert just turned it on and we closed the game out. Very strong and encouraging game.
I want to make the playoffs real bad because if we do, it means that Mitch led us there and I think it would be hard to deny him the ROY if that happens. Especially if Philly falls out, which I think they will. Philly missing the playoffs and Mitchell taking the Jazz there, shocking the league, is the only scenario I see him getting ROY since so many at least media people made up their mind in the first week of the season.
