Not every player is born with that gene. He's super efficient without needing the ball. You need 2-3 players like that in your lineup. It makes the offense run so much smoother. Right now, we really only have 1 guy in Mitch who can become that. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes into next season with a consistent 3-point shot. He's been putting in the work after games. I have no doubt he''ll be able to do it.

It may sound crazy, but I agree. There is a huge salary difference as well. Mitch + an extra $26-$35mil.

Drafting Mitch + signing him to that contract has been Perry's best move so far.

Kinda sorta definitivamente

We trade him and we could fall into another “lots of talent but no good” rut.

ill be honest with you guys- dont like "blockness monster"- we need something thats "fire and natural" at the same time...

would rather see more faceup stuff than posting up. latter should be a situational thing.

BBall-ref nicknames are cornier than something, that's really corny. I couldn't find a good enough metaphor.

hey, as long as it's a bucket when we need it. i think by definition post-ups are situational. i can't see him looking to make that his primary game. the highlight looked like a good read on the court where dude realized he could get a high percentage shot.

i agree wholeheartedly that it shouldn't be a first option out of half court or anything like that.

it's a little ham fisted, but i like the respect implied by block ness monster. :lol:

I don't like "Block Ness monster", although it's a great photoshop, because Loch Ness has nothing to do with Mitch.

We need to crowdsource a name/meme.

Mitchell "Blockin' 'ell" Robinson? ... nah, that doesn't really work either ... ideas ...?

he's right in front of the basket tho when he's calling for it. he basically just has to turn around and it's a layup. you do that every time u can.

Ntilikina
Kyrie / Dotson
Durant
Zion
Robinson

Will be our best defensive lineup

We wont need a lot of points if they play defense up to their standarts

right. that's not option 1 in the half-court. that's, "oh, schidt! look where i have position!"
