I'll take few Dillon Brooks on my team. He's been the best player for the Grizzlies this series.

I feel like Mitchell is gearing up for a big 2nd half. He's been ramping up the last couple games.

So you're saying Dillon and JJJ are smart basketball players.

Dillon’s awesome but Ja’s the best player in the series. He’ll be in MVP conversation next year.

He can't shoot a jumper and he's not a great defender. Wouldn't say he's the best player or a potential MVP candidate right now. The Jazz are letting him get his and staying home on everyone else.

They're 25 and 21 years old respectively. They young and learning. I think both have above average bball IQ and have already shown bball IQ improvements with only more improvement to come.

Ja needs to be more vocal and tell Brooks to take a fkin seat. Seen to many times this series where Brooks acts like he the superstar

It may be a Mitchell vs. Gobert et al locker room but Mitchell is clearly a difference maker for the Jazz.

That's what Utah has been missing, a physical offensive player that can score inside or fish fouls. In this case for Mitchell, both.

Mitchell is making his way back. He was putting up like 36 ppg after AS break before he went out with the ankle.

Because Ja shoots 73% from the line and struggles sometimes.

Brooks has a habit of lunging into the shooter's landing space. Not sure if there was much contact there though.

That's a big play if it's Brooks' 4th foul.
