If Mitch shows he can reliably hit a jumper, improving his free throw shooting as well, doesnt seem like a stretch.

He’s not the big time floor stretcher but he’s enough as well as an elite rim protector. Brunson, Grimes, Barrett, Randle, and Turner offers the balance needed with providing more spacing. But again want to see how the team gels first at this point. |

The shooting doesn’t look like it’s coming around. |

Brunson will likely do a better job of consistently setting Mitch up for the finish, than any prior starter. He will be getting to the line more. More time to improve. That doesnt include RJ, Quick, Rose, who all can find Mitch cutting to the rim.
We dont re-sign draft picks often. Dont see the weaknesses in his game outweighing his strengths. A trade for an elite player, thats another story. We dont need Mitch to be a jack of all trades to move the needle.

Whatever the deal would be for a star, the package would probably have a little of everything. The days of 1-2 player drafts are over. You can get good to great players all over the first round and even second round Mitchell we get roasted for not drafting yet 11 other nba teams also took a pass on him in the draft. Giannis was drafted 15th overall. Curry was drafted 8th — we were one pick away from getting him without even a trade up |
