Mitchell needs to start

Last 5 games. . .

Donovan Mitchell - 17.8 points per game - 3.2 rebounds per game - 2.4 assists per game - 1.6 steals per game - 2.2/7.4 (.297) 3 pt. - 1.2/1.8 (.667) FTA

Rodney Hood - 20.1 points per game - 3 rebounds per game - 1.6 assists per game - 3.4/8.4 (.405) 3 pt - 4.8/5.2 (.923) FTA

Hood has 9 games this year at 15+ points (4 games with 20+), while Mitchell has 8 games with 15+ points (5 games 20+). Despite some truly poor shooting by both at times, they’re clearly taking on the bulk of the scoring responsibilities this year. Regardless of wins/losses, that has to bode well for the team moving forward.

I still think that the best move (for now) is to play Favors, Bradley, Jingles, Hood and Mitchell to start games until Gobert gets back healthy or Favors is traded. Then give Udoh, JJ (once healthy), Sefalosha, Burks and Rubio minutes off the bench. Hope the young guys grow into their roles, while the guys who are expendable increase their trade value and can bring back assets for the future.

Mitchell's last 10 games he's averaging 19.9 PPG on 42% shooting. I expect him to average close to that number you just posted for the rest of the season
 
Does anyone remember the woman who was an astronaut who drank a bunch of energy drinks and wore an astronaut diaper so she didn’t have to stop when she drove coast-to-coast to try to kill somebody? Maybe the self-banning was a cover.

I totally remember that lol.

Her name was Lisa Nowak and she was arrested in Orlando in 2007. She was driving from Houston to Orlando and wore a diaper so she wouldn't have to stop. She was going to Orlando to kidnap an Airforce Captain that was romantically involved with another astronaut that Nowack was seeing or wanted to be with.

Among the things in her possession when she was busted was pepper spray, latex gloves a 2lb drilling hammer, hundreds in cash and garbage bags. She was going to kill that woman. Almost had her to. Chased her into a car at an airport. The Captain got pepper sprayed but was able to drive out of the parking garage and notify police.

I’m sure if you just listened to her she had a rational explanation, too.

Mitchell has had some good games, but if you think he's challenging Simmons for ROTY, you're just showing you don't watch or like NBA basketball. Mitchell isn't even the conversation to be in the top 5 ROTY so far.

Dat homerism doe, dude.

He should be. But Simmons is a lock for ROY barring some injury.

#1 is clear

2-5 is debatable.

Simmons
Tatum
Lauri
Fox
DS Jr.
Kuzma

I'd put Mitchell up there with Kuzma, Fox and DS Jr. for sure. The only real knocks on him were bad %s, gambling on D and pushing to hard at the rim. There have already been improvement in all 3 of those areas. Mitchell should deservedly be in the ROY conversation.

You would. The general consensus of the NBA wouldn't at this point though.

The NBA website currently has Mitchell listed as #4.
