some other fun Mitch Robinson numbers:
* He is on pace to become the first rookie ever to average more than two blocks per game while also shooting over 60% from the floor.
* He's the first player in NBA history to block more than 20 three-point attempts in a single season
Coming into 2018-19, only six players in NBA history had posted a PER greater than 22.0 during their age-20 season:
LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Anthony Davis, Andre Drumond, Chris Paul and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Mitchell Robinson's PER this season currently sits at 22.3
...last one
Per @bball_ref,
Over the last 40 years, only two rookies have posted a Box Plus/Minus (BPM) higher than Mitchell Robinson's current BPM of 6.2:
Michael Jordan (1984-85) and David Robinson (1989-90)
Blew the Bradley pick? If the Jazz picked Robinson he'd be in the same position as Bradley, not playing on the bench or in the G-League. Robinson puts up some stats on a tanking team. Wow. That wouldn't inform how the Jazz handled Favors.A rookie big who could backup Gobert and allow Utah to get a shooter instead of bringing Derrick back at $17m...which you know is gojng to and has to happen.
The Jazz have no other goid options because
Lindsey blew the Bradley pick. He then went for a Dukie with little ceiling in a desperate attempt to get additional shooting, because he was too cheap to use the MLE. And too unimaginative to offer 1yr contracts, like other GMs started to offer.
He may as well just sell this year's pick for $3m and at least use it on a player that has shown some big league ability.
Bol Bol just declared for the nba draft, he is a top 15 prospect?
Jazz would never draft him.Rui is quite high on my list too, but he'd be way gone by the time the Jazz pick. He might end up being top 15 pick, if not top 20.
Chuma Okeke tore his ACL in the game against North Carolina. He had put up 20 and 11 up to that point and was looking like a solid first-round pick. Not sure if he'll declare, but he's still a value pick in the late first round.
Jazz would never draft him.
Terrible defender and not a good shooter.
Kind of a combo of Julius Randle and Jabari Parker, but just the average parts of both.
