I don't watch Capella and would guess that he is more experienced, smarter, and better at his role than Mitch, but Mitch ain't no slouch.

Capella	28yo	$18.7M	$20.6M	$22.3M
Mitch	24yo	$17.0M	$15.7M	$14.3M	$13.0M

Thoughts?

If I had to guess, Capella would draw more general interest on the trade market. But Robinson's deal is more moveable. Personally, I'm cool with Mitch's deal.

I think Capela shows more offensive mobility but otherwise is a lesser C. Those points show in the money stats causing the higher salary.

I think this is a mistake though. A common one. But a mistake. I continue to believe the box out strategy minimizes Robinson’s stats but not his effectiveness. Case in point is last night’s statistical anomaly. Robinson got 9 offensive rebounds but only 1 defensive rebound. Meanwhile JR has 16 defensive rebounds but only 1 offensive rebound. The “money stats” don’t show Robinson’s impact on the game. But owns the boards individually on offense and team on defensive.

Also note Capela is 28 to Robinson’s 24. I would expect Robinson to continue to improve while Capela is arguably at his prime.

I’m taking Robinson at 15 for 4 all day and might even take Robinson over Capela on a 3 for 60. That’s likely his next contract.

Capella has had the good benefit of playing with Harden and now Trae too, and he is also just solid too in his own right.

I think we can all see where Mitch has gotten better on the defensive side of things, I do wonder if he has a higher ceiling on the O side than he is showing.

Things like box outs don’t really show in the stats. Not sure they are tracked that closely either. But our guys are working the blocks for the team rebound. I think Mitch’s abilities are better than his points/rebounds show.

Last couple games had better passing. I see Capela showing better money stats, but I think Mitch is the better big man.
