I don’t think this is right. Donovan just struggles making the right plays at times at PG and ends up having to make a quick decision because the shot clocks running down. He’s not being a “ball hog” but running point is a difficult position especially when you’re the only one who can ball handle period when Rubio and Exum are out. Donovan does his best but he already has a ton of offensive load on his shoulders and asking him to play point is just too much right now.
Just let ingles run the pg. He's alot better at running the point than Donovan. Donovan is a scorer
Yep, it seems a lot better from an eye test because the Jazz aren't forced to trot out awful 3pt shooters at PG like they usually do with Rubio/Exum, but the team offense in general suffers while Mitchell individually benefits from the extra spacing. Interestingly enough though, since January 1 (when Mitchell really started playing like a borderline all star again) Mitchell's TS% only increases by 1.1% with Rubio off the floor vs when Rubio is on (55.0 vs 53.9).
When just one player scores for 12 min, there is something wrong in team work, these guys make a lot of money not just for attendаnce on the court.
And I agreed with that decision, which shows my opinion is crap. We've lost 4(?) games due to poor guard play since the trade deadline.
Yes but you can’t put that solely on the only dude who tries to actually score. I think once you hit about 5 minutes in the 4th it’s Donovans game. You ride or die with your best player, like every other team. Sure the rest of the team needs to be involved, but it’s also Donovan’s game to close it out. You always turn the game over to your star. Stars win in the NBA, and that’s not really debatable.
Stupid *** take.
This **** has gotten so old. A trade DID NOT HAPPEN. Move on. This is the roster the rest of the way, no changing it.
So let's buy a heating pad to keep the bench warm and move on.
