Mitchell needs to start

[Coach Ellis]

Mitchell killed it in the first half last night. Then he had some mistakes and it killed his rhythm in the 2nd half. Still finished with 19 points on 47% shooting and 50% from 3.

His season averages are now:

14.9 ppg, 3 rpg, 2 apg, 1.6spg on 38.8 FG%, 35.6 3pt% and 66.7 FG%.

His points and FG and 3 pt % are all trending up.

Last 5 games. . .

Donovan Mitchell - 17.8 points per game - 3.2 rebounds per game - 2.4 assists per game - 1.6 steals per game - 2.2/7.4 (.297) 3 pt. - 1.2/1.8 (.667) FTA

Rodney Hood - 20.1 points per game - 3 rebounds per game - 1.6 assists per game - 3.4/8.4 (.405) 3 pt - 4.8/5.2 (.923) FTA

Hood has 9 games this year at 15+ points (4 games with 20+), while Mitchell has 8 games with 15+ points (5 games 20+). Despite some truly poor shooting by both at times, they’re clearly taking on the bulk of the scoring responsibilities this year. Regardless of wins/losses, that has to bode well for the team moving forward.

I still think that the best move (for now) is to play Favors, Bradley, Jingles, Hood and Mitchell to start games until Gobert gets back healthy or Favors is traded. Then give Udoh, JJ (once healthy), Sefalosha, Burks and Rubio minutes off the bench. Hope the young guys grow into their roles, while the guys who are expendable increase their trade value and can bring back assets for the future.

I agree we need to see what we have in Bradley, plus he's tankalicious.

I think Synder knows this and that's why he gave him the keys.

Snyder only has one rule, instruction, name, and word for Mitchell:

CHUCK

And what is so concerning to you, Pee-Pee Man, did you take just take a Ca-Ca?

This made me laugh way harder than it had any right to.

What the **** are you doing? Do you understand that you're the common denominator in all of your bizarre interactions?

Mitchell's last 10 games he's averaging 19.9 PPG on 42% shooting. I expect him to average close to that number you just posted for the rest of the season

On a scale of 1 to 10, please quantify how likely I am to be murdered?

7.

maybe we should have a poll?

Mitchell is probably the only guy we have who can take two dribbles and make a shot with any consistency. That's the reason.

Eh. I just want to see him try to threaten you again .... that was funny stuff

This thread seems like an anachronism.

The “reason”? Who gives a ****.

Mitchell is Chucky. He’s Donny McChuck. He’s chuck steak.

Of course we can live with it. The magical thing is that Snyder can, too.
