Gaining steam through the workout and interview process, Donovan Mitchell has a chance to land in the lottery as a 3 and D style off guard who can serve as a secondary ball handler in a pinch, given his improved pick and roll scoring and off the dribble shooting. With a 211-pound frame and a 6'10 wingspan, Mitchell can defend either guard spot, and even check some threes versus smaller lineups. A high-character athlete with culture-changing personality and work ethic, Mitchell should be able to survive anywhere from a mentality standpoint, but the basketball fit will be important in order to maximize his potential. He's a ways away from being able to run an NBA team, as his feel for the game could still use some work, so putting him in a position to focus on defending, making open shots, getting downhill in space, moving off the ball, and being an athlete in transition will be key, similar to Norman Powell's development situation in Toronto. Surrounding Mitchell with several players who think the game at a high level, namely a high IQ point guard to learn from, should help him improve his decision making, while still being able to focus on the things that can make him impactful early on in his career. Miscasting Mitchell as a lead guard and playing him as such early in his career could stunt his growth a little bit. Mitchell is getting looks as high as #8 from New York, and has a great chance to be picked 11th by Charlotte as a complement to Kemba Walker, or 12th by Detroit to operate in between Reggie Jackson and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. If not, don't expect him to fall very far past Miami (#14), Portland (#15) or Chicago (#16) at the absolute worst. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Donovan-Mitchell-84680/ ©DraftExpress

Listed at 6'3 with a strong 210-pound frame and good length, Mitchell as a bit undersized for a shooting guard, but compensates with tremendous athletic ability. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Donovan-Mitchell-84680/ ©DraftExpress

I can't believe people would even argue 6'3" sg isn't considered undersized in the NBA. It's not always true, but common knowledge. Do you even NBA, bro?

You posted draftexpress article. I posted the breakdown from draftexpress saying he's undersized. Read, please.

Btw, someone show me a Mitchell draft report that doesn't say his undersized and a possible concern.

I gave you what you asked for, that's all I did. Oddly enough even your own profile admits he is undersized but makes up for it with something you also claimed he lacks Lol. Him being undersized is not rocket science.

What do I claim he lacks?
 
AM trolling the whole board. Getting the all you can eat buffet thrown back at him.

Agree that something is a bit amiss with Rudy. Just missing a bit of edge this year.

Against NBA starters, Mitchell is undersized and slow.

Now read the sentence after your quoted scout report "He's got great speed and body control in the open floor, and is a big time leaper off two feet, posting a 36 ½ inch no-step vertical at the Combine." - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Donovan-Mitchell-84680/ ©DraftExpress

Ok. He looked super great and far superior than his opponents. Donovan Mitchell played on a different level his first 4 games. Rookie of the year here we come!

Btw, not arguing the fact Mitchell isn't an NBA athlete. I'm arguing 6'3" is considered undersized for SGs in the NBA.

You mean the guy who got screened? Yeah, he was a whole foot ahead!

Evans didn't get screened, and no, Mitchell wasn't a foot ahead. Mitchell made it all the way to the rim and scored (...which is why it was included as a highlight).

He gets by his defender again starting at 1:37 for the floater.

I stopped reading when you said he didn't get screened. Can you please verify the time you're talking about again cause dude clearly got screened and Mitchell wasn't picked up by the d.

Height is not that important compared to his standing reach. Is that average or below?
