What's new

Donovan averages 2 PASSES to Rudy a game (NOT ASSISTS).

They do a ton of passes outside on the perimeter. Pass and handoffs.

I guess this 2 passes a game thing is only in the post? Or right under the basket? What qualifies as a pass in this statistic?

This is ANYWHERE during a game. Mitchell has 2 passes a game to Gobert anywhere on the floor. And 0.6 assists per game to Gobert.
 
Gobert probably gets more touches via offensive rebounds off Donovan misses than he does passes. Idk if thats a searchable stat, but I hope it is
Gobert averages about 2 blocks and 1 steal a game. In other words - he gets more passes from opponents than from Mitchell.
 
Gobert is going to get traded to the Hawks, he will average 18/15 with Trae, they'll be the top offense in the league, Gobert will make them a top 8 defense in the league, they'll win close to 60 games or more.
 


Royce gets the ball 4.5x more from Donovan than Rudy

dm isn't really a savy passer but once he sets his mind to pass he can make a good one. Royce being the recipient is by design. teams don't want to leave bogey and Mike open so they'll just gamble on Royce. Royce is struggling with his shot and sometimes overpassing. he need to make those
 
So Donovan is passing it to Rudy one less time than last year when we were the #1 overall seed and everybody thought we were destined to contend.

These conspiracy theories about Donovan not passing to Rudy for non-basketball reasons are going a ton overboard. These Donovan Mitchell bashing sessions are unwarranted.

Have faith in this team that we have right now and we can address issues in the offseason.
 
If I missed this one sorry for the double post, but I cannot see embedded media unless I quote the post. It is irritating as hell.

Anyway, found this interesting and telling.



For those media-challenged like me, this is the quote:

Devin Booker has played 47 games with Deandre Ayton this season, passed to him 199 times for 61 assists. Ayton shoots 57.5%. Donovan Mitchell has played 55 games with Rudy Gobert this season, passed to him 151 times for 39 assists. Gobert shoots 56.9%.
 
Same with this one...



Exactly! And Trae has more ASSISTS to Capella than Spida has passed to Rudy!

152 to 151 to be exact.

That is a better apples to apples comparison as Capella has about he same offensive game as Rudy, a bit better maybe, but not much.

Nah, we’re the number 1 offense so we’re obviously doing it all mostly right.
 
This whole DM not passing to Gobert thing is getting a lot of attention, it has definitely gotten back to Donovan.

I wonder what we see tonight. That tweet from Semi-Pro might be more accurate than I would have thought.
