Donovan Mitchell’s last 5 games averages

Feels good to play well against bad teams. When will Utah start hanging with Philly, Bucks, Raptors, OKC, Houstan?

They've beat Houston two times this season.

Both OKC games were b2b for us and not them. While it doesn't say we can beat them it doesn't say we can't.

One thing I've noticed is his shot seems to have more arc. He was hitting the back if the rim a lot, now he's slowing down a bit, adding some arc to his shot, and they are falling (at least on his 3 point shot).

Exactly and can Donovan play like this against better teams?

He seems to be sticking his butt out more similar to how Korver shoots his FTs.

While on this subject, why was Mitchell shooting our techs when Korver was on the floor?

Cause it makes him happy to score a **** ton of points, and Quin wants Mitchell happy.

Cause the only reason is Donovan is a stat chaser. He loves his stats. Your best shooter should take your free throws

 

[jazzETX]

his FT form definitely looks different, he's sticking his elbow forward more

They're not going to lose every game against good teams. Too many so far. 5-9th place at end of the season is regression.

I don't think regular season record really matters all that much. Regression/progression will be measured in the playoffs more than anything.

Mitchell's changed his shot. His free throw routine is even different (at least Im fairly sure it is).

I've noticed that. My memory tells me his form was very square last year and coming into this year. Really good and he was generally good and repeating the same motions, but his percentages were never great. I think he went to the 10% shooting turn that shooting coaches teach which is shooting foot ahead of off foot with a 8-10 degree inside turn of the shooting foot. He's also has a higher arc.

I made that change about 12 years ago and became real dangerous behind the arc in pickup. Gave me 5 more ft of shootable distance, as well.
