Who is the best Jazz player in 3 years?

[MT Steve]

That's the team's offensive rating when he is on the court, not his individual offensive rating.

I see - I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying.

And NBA Reference = Basketball Reference, they just changed the name recently.

Donovan Mitchell (21) rookie stats: .388 fg%, .326 from 3, 2.4 ast, 2.3 t.o., 2.0 FTA.

Trey Burke (21) rookie stats : .38 fg%, .33 from 3, 5.7 ast, 1.9 t.o., 1.6 FTA.

Maybe, just maybe, the jury is still out on a kid that has a PER of 12, a negative VORP, an ORTG of 92 and a DRTG of 106, and a horrible ts%.

The big difference is obviously that Mitchell had a horrific start and has picked it up since then. But also just how he is doing it. He's a much more impressive athlete, he's a much better defender (or at least has a much higher ceiling). Burke has major limitations. But I agree that he hasn't arrived at all yet. He still has some things to improve on. His shot selection, his overall shooting, his finishing, his decision making, his defense. Still he's a MUCH better prospect than Burke.

Yeah but it's still way too early and dumb to compare him anywhere near the level of Gobert.

lol this is a lame effort even by your trolling standards.

Gobert provides a lot offensively in the right system. It's crazy to me that a fan could watch last year, see how dominant and impactful Gobert was with the right players around him, and think that he doesn't bring anything offensively. He was a very good offensive player last year, and with the right teammates he can be again.

Isn't that his teammates bringing his offensive game up then? What Gobert provides offensively is being erased this season. Teams have figured him out. Until he can punish a team for guarding him on the roll with a PG then he'll continue to struggle to provide help offensively.

Uh, no. Teams didn't figure him out. He was the best roller in the NBA last season. It's the personnel surrounding him.

I remember when Cappy Smurf laughed at me for asking if Gobert was the best center in the game against the Nuggets. Jokic is playing like a beast this year and just got player of the week. He's 3 years younger than Gobert too.

The poll questions asks the leader in 2020. So I voted for Gobert. The thread title asks who will be better. My answer for that is Mitchell.
