the coach should do something about that:jbhmm:

Coaches can draw up the plays all he wants, but it’s on the players to execute it and make it happen. Mitchell is a good offensive player, but he’s rather mehhh at other aspects of his game. Don’t bring up his defense either as he’s gotten worse at it as he’s been in the league.

that's the thing - quin been drawing up the same shyt for years and mitchell has openly shown LESS trust for his teammates year after year. and rudy been getting more and more blunt about the defense/who's worth helping too

his best players are checking out on him and have been since last year. the "players need to do more" argument got no traction in utah.

they've plateaued. and not to say something so plain as without donovan/rudy, they're a horrible team. that's droll. but without those two, does that team even look organic or function on a basic level? utah's a mess lol

Which is why you’ve been hearing rumors of Quinn getting the boot and SA possibly making a run at him. It still doesn’t change the fact that Mitchell isn’t that dude and going a different destination isn’t going to change that. It’s just going expose him even more on a larger scale.

His basketball IQ is too inconsistent at times to be your #1 guy and lead guard. How many points he can put up doesn’t change that as other guys in the league can do it as well.

mitchell is the sole consistent driving force of a top 10 offense in the NBA despite the fact that its one of the least dynamic :dead: asking a guy to do that AND be the best perimeter defender for his squad is something only a handful of players do per year - with a straight face, people don't even ask that of tatum.

all i've ever been saying is that quin has low key mailed it in and for some reason people would rather not discuss it :mjpls:

That entire team has been away shyt for years now yet no one is said a word as they don’t care about Utah. I also never said I expected him to be the best perimeter defender, so I don’t get where you got that comment.

You don’t have to be All Defensive team, but at least be average enough not to be a complete liability on the floor. I’ve said about Jokic and KAT and I will say it about Mitchell as well. That applies to other guys on his team as well who Gobert has been covering for on defense for years now.

We give other guys shyt as well for their shortcomings, so Mitchell shouldn’t be the exception.
