Mitchell is taking 4 more shots per game than Zach. Lavine gives you the same production with the same usage.

Not a problem if he's making these higher attempts at a good percentage while giving me more assists than Zach, playing better defense than Zach, and can play better situational basketball close to the end of a tight game than Zach.

Except he doesn't do all of those things.

Mitchell averages about 1/2...0.5... an assist more per game than Lavine. Defensively Mitchell came into the league with expectations of being a defensive stopper and the word is he was pretty good as a rookie and has declined every season since. Kind of the opposite of Lavine. Everything I read says he is a subpar defender but can be solid when putting forth full effort. Exactly like Lavine. He IS 4" shorter than Zach so if you think this team is tiny now...

Lavine is a better 3 point shooter.

I mean, if you want to look at just the last 7 games of his career, Mitchell is a freaking superstar at an unparalleled level. If you think neither player will return to their mean then sure. But history says you're trading for the same player only 4" shorter.

Despite him not being a huge gap of improvement, I'll still take him scoring more in recent years and his basketball IQ as a person to lead a team for the time being unless a generational talent/superstar take his spot. No better alternative at the moment IMO.
