How do you pick frank over mitchell is beyond stupidity, and this is the FO you trust to draft for your team. We could have had Rubio (if we traded rose last season) and mitchell as our back court along with KP..That's a FO thats savvy. We signed Raymond Session, jack, and thj instead..LMAO Sixers, Lakers, Celtics, Suns, Kings, Magic, TWolves, Knicks, Mavs, Kings again, Hornets, Pistons all passed on Mitchell. How do you think the Nuggets feel? They picked him then traded his rights to Utah. I guess it will go down also in the "Sixers, Lakers, Celtics, Suns, Kings, Magic, TWolves, Knicks, Mavs, Kings again, Hornets, Pistons, Nuggets Lore" Aside from the magic, all of those teams had legit Guards on their roster , we had nobody at the PG or sg going into the draft, and to sit up there and pick a sure nuff 4 yr project when you need a starter is dumb.. How many of those teams drafted guards despite having "Legit" guards? Its easy to transpose back in time with current knowledge and call it "dumb and stupid". Your assuming you know then what you know now. Heck, Mitchell was considered a project who would need years to develop. Mitchell has acknowledged that he improved a lot during the summer due to the fact that he could focus more on his game. There's a reason why teams whiffed. No one saw Mitchell succeeding this early. No watch more teams screw up their future picks trying to find the next Donovan Mitchell. This is from his DraftX profile. Looking at it, you can get a sense of the work he put in: Donovan Mitchell - The 3 & D Guard Gaining steam through the workout and interview process, Donovan Mitchell has a chance to land in the lottery as a 3 and D style off guard who can serve as a secondary ball handler in a pinch, given his improved pick and roll scoring and off the dribble shooting. With a 211-pound frame and a 6'10 wingspan, Mitchell can defend either guard spot, and even check some threes versus smaller lineups. A high-character athlete with culture-changing personality and work ethic, Mitchell should be able to survive anywhere from a mentality standpoint, but the basketball fit will be important in order to maximize his potential. He's a ways away from being able to run an NBA team, as his feel for the game could still use some work, so putting him in a position to focus on defending, making open shots, getting downhill in space, moving off the ball, and being an athlete in transition will be key, similar to Norman Powell's development situation in Toronto.
Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.
