I had to, sorry. Not Sorry.

Tatum will be so filthy when he gets unleashed... it's unreal.

Sweet moves. That was nasty!

How come Tatum only got 27 minutes of play?

Mitchell just explodes off the floor. His combination of wingspan and athleticism is absurd.

I wish he could explode off one foot like that. This is pretty much the only thing in his game that bothers me right now and it's kind of a nitpick... that and not having a great left hand finishing, but I believe he will improve that.

Kuzma has hit a wall. 12.7 PPG, 38% FG and 33% 3P in his last 10 games.
In his last 9, his 3P has fallen to 29% on about 5.5 shots.

Mitchell is a special, special talent. He's not even shooting the ball well from deep. If he can improve his jumper he's one of the elite scorers in the league. He went from being below average at the rim to elite in a matter of months.

Does Mitchell have more 30+ point games than the rest of the rookie class combined? It feels like it.

There's no slowing down Donovan Mitchell. S.T.U.D

Mitchell With another good game.
Mitchell Fg 14/19 Pts 34.

Mitchell with 5 games over 30+ points now, not sure how many the others have.

Markannen has 2 over 30+ point games.

Mitchell is damn good but Bogdanovich isn’t bad either....

25 points on only 11 shots. 6 for 6 from 3.
6 boards and 2 assists. First team all rookie is going to be tough this year. Probably 5-7 guys are good enough to have been rookie of the year last year.

Yes Bogdanovich is definitely trending up. He's just not getting much exposure from the media because he hasn't exploded like Mitchell. Add in the fact that he's in Sactown and the talk of the team is Fox. Underrated.

Bogdanovich has my favorite jumper in the NBA. There is just something about it that is so aesthetically pleasing. If I could copy one player's jumper it would be his.

Ok Im starting to see it but I heard it tonight and saw some old vids but Donovan Mitchell kinda looks like Steve Francis with a jumpshot, am I crazy or can you kind of see a comparison?

Impressive game again. Went 14-19!!! That is friggin efficient!
Led the Jazz to a win over the hapless Kings.

Markkanen, Kuzma and even Simmons are slowing down as if they are hitting the rookie wall but Mitchell pours it in again with another huge 34 point night.

Looking more and more like the top ROY candidate.

Who wins? (May select 2 options.)
