Donovan Mitchell is currently being assisted on 22 percent of his two-point shots. Is that really low or am I just high on marijuana? It seems really low, but it also makes sense when you watch his highlights. His teammates don’t set things up for him. He sets things up for himself. The amount of…

Donovan Mitchell 32 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2017)
Last season was great, but it would have been a lot better if we could have somehow transported Donovan Mitchell into that rookie class. I didn’t fully realize it at the time, but last year’s rookie class was lame as heck aside from Embiid who didn’t play that much. If Mitchell had been there, I…

When Donovan Mitchell was held scoreless (save two free throws) in the first quarter of this game, I’m thinking it was pretty likely that TNT headquarters were descending into chaos. Do you think their executives were running into each others offices yelling “This highly-touted matchup between stud shooting guards has been a total flop! TV’s…

Does Donovan Mitchell, in your opinion, have “The Eye of the Tiger”? The answer, of course, depends on what “The Eye of the Tiger” is supposed to represent. That’s a question I can’t help with. The only “Eye of the Tiger” that I know of is an 80’s arena rock classic, and I don’t think…

Usually I find it annoying when commentators are unabashed homers, but listening to the Jazz guys giddily talk about Donovan Mitchell’s potential is actually sort of tolerable. You can hear their smiles whenever Mitchell scores. It’s like they just got the best Christmas present ever and can’t stop talking about it. Not since Rudy Gobert…

I was trying to think of the last rookie to score 40 in a game, and I was thinking really hard, and the best I could come up with was when Brandon Jennings had 55. That was a long, long time ago, all the way back in 2009. And I was wrong. Stephen Curry and…

I wonder how many times Jazz coach Quin Snyder has told Donovan Mitchell to stop chucking so many swaggy threes. He doesn’t seem like the kind of coach who would be very tolerant of this particular rookie’s propensity for showmanship, but Mitchell also doesn’t seem like the type to ever stop shooting no matter what…

Is Donovan Mitchell the reason Ricky Rubio is so underwhelming lately? Like, Rubio saw him constantly taking and making all these tough shots and he thought “why even try I’ve been in the league for years and I can’t even come close to doing this stuff”. It wouldn’t surprise me if that was the case….

More buckets for Donovan Mitchell. This man is a bucket machine. Does he ever get good looks? It doesn’t seem like it. Every bucket is a work of supreme determination on his part. That’s why his percentages suck, and that’s also why percentages aren’t everything. Some of us watch the games. But most of us…

Somehow, Donovan Mitchell has quickly and decisively established himself as the number one scoring option on the Jazz. That’s probably clue #1 that the Jazz aren’t going to match the lofty expectations they set after their playoff room last season. You could argue that Rodney Hood is the number one scoring option, but I don’t…
