Maybe, maybe not. Odds are that he'd have gotten his big shot at the first injury, if not sooner.

No, odds are very much against that. Know your coach.

There no doubt in my mind that Mitchell wouldn't be who he is if we drafted him. He'd show flashes but Stan's incompetence and stubbornness to give him minutes and allow him to play thru his mistakes would trump any development.
I give Utah a million percent credit for enhancing his potential and allowing him to develop as quickly as he did. A part of me is happy he's with them and not us. The kid didn't deserve this sh^t organization that doesn't value player development.
