Horrible comparison. Donovan Mitchell's athleticism is off the scale compared to Trey Burke. I would compare him more as a slightly bigger/longer version of Eric Bledsoe.
Great quotes from Donovan Mitchell workout

That last dunk was amazing. No idea how he got it in the hoop.
I haven't watched any games of his, so I can't comment on that, but stats/measurements-wise he fits right as a kind of blend between George Hill, Avery Bradley, and Victor Oladipo. He has the longest wingspan of the group, though the shortest vertical reach (not much difference on this). He's exactly the same height as George Hill. He's not as good a 3-pt shooter as George Hill was at this stage, but he's the best FT shooter in the group. As a jumper, he fits right in with Oladipo at the top of the group; as he does with his weight.
George Hill averaged slightly more assists to this point of his career, though Hill's higher average here (and as a scorer) might be due to playing at a small-time program.
So the questions really seem to be: can he be as good a defender as these others (and he seems to at least have the potential to hang with them in this area), and can he, like Hill, learn to become a competent floor leader, if not a traditional high-assist PG?
Answers to the last one, particularly, will probably determine both his draft position and his NBA success.

Probably 6 from the measurements. 4 from good interviews.
Speak for yourself, plenty of people, including me, had him high.
He is in the 10-19 range, no way he gets past 19.
I think Mitchell has a higher chance at jumping the top 9 than falling out of the teens. Could definitely see him being taken over Markkanen or Frank N.
I know you did but not top-12. Nobody on here had him that high.

That would be great. Keep pushing the better players down.

You break my heart for just one spot?
Well WHO picks 19? Does he have a draft guarantee from them?

Also agents talk to all teams. Just because their players did not end up in Utah does not mean they have not dealt with each other quite a bit.
