Okay, we’re for really real right now: Donovan Mitchell could be ROTY of the Year. No jokes, no sarcasm. I’m watching Ben Simmons highlights right now, and they’re great, but where are the jumpers? They’re not there. Contrast that with this Mitchell highlight package. Before tonight, before this 35 points, there were still some people…

Ekpe Udoh 16 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
Behold: the first video for Ekpe “Squidward” Udoh on DownToBuck’s archivium of scrubs. I ignored him for the whole time he was on the Bucks, and then he went to the Clippers to ride pine, and then he disappeared to Turkey so he could start a book club. And it’s not like he was too…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 21 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
Ricky Rubio’s assist numbers are way down from last year, a result of him moving from the Timberwolves’ “spam pick-and-pops with KAT” system to the Jazz’s “take the ball out of Ricky’s hands so some flashy rookie can play with it” system. It’s a shame, but what can you do? His hot shooting percentages to…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 27 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2018)
27 points on 25 shots for Donovan “Prince of ‘hell” Mitchell. Purists may chafe at the the inefficiency, but I figure if your point total is more than your shots total, you’re all good. Especially if you played before the three-point line was introduced. That’s not Mitchell, but it’s still all good. All good except…
Read MoreJoe Johnson 20 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
Joe Johnson is now at the point in his career were he is widely beloved even if he kind of sucks. Did people simply forget how much they used to make fun of him for being an iso chucker and having a ridiculous (for the time) contract? He iso chucked his way to 20,000 points…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 16 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2017)
Last night was a battle of Spanish point guards as the young (Ricky “Sexy Eyes” Rubio) faced off against the old (Jose Calderon). But who is the better player? Through the use of facts, double- and triple-checked for factuality, I will determine which player is officially better and present my FINAL OFFICIAL VERDICT and the…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 29 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (12/30/2017)
It took me until the Jazz TV dudes showed the list of Jazz rookies with the most 20 point games, but Donovan Mitchell’s game totally reminds me of Darrell Griffith A.K.A. Dr. Dunkenstein A.K.A. The Golden Griff. I even made some vintage highlights of that dude scoring 40 and totally outplaying Michael Jordan (sound familiar?),…
Read MoreRodney Hood 26 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)
The scoring gap between Rodney Hood and Donovan Mitchell gets closer by the day. Hood is now .2 points per game behind his rookie teammate. Based on the general hype situation around those two players, I would estimate that Mitchell is averaging 32 points/6 assists while Hood is averaging 0 points/3 farts. I’m done trying…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 29 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)
I’m trying to figure out what Russell Westbrook meant when he told Donovan Mitchell “Don’t stop” repeatedly as they met a center court after the final buzzer. “Don’t stop”. Like chucking shots? Don’t stop chucking shots? That’s got to be it. Westbrook knows as well as anyone the heights to which you can ascend if…
Read MoreRodney Hood 29 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2017)
While undertaking the compilation and editing of this video, I was constantly bombarded with extremely strong Khris Middleton vibes. The crafty moves to get inside, the fearless jumper, the compulsion to embarrass a smaller defender with a turnaround jimbo, those are all things that I have watched Middleton do for some time. And now I…
