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.
I bet Bucks fans said the same exact thing about Larry Sanders...

Once he gets a jumpshot his face up game will be unstoppable. I bet he could start from the triple threat position at the 3 point line and with one dribble dunk the ball with ease.

He doesn’t get this endorsement deal if he played for a small market team.
Last month, Nike added Robinson to its elite cadre of NBA clientele, inking the Knicks rookie to a contract. Sneaker and apparel companies typically target guards and wings, and top draft picks, as they tend to sell more merchandise. It’s relatively uncommon for a basketball behemoth such as Nike to sign a center that was recently selected in the second round.
However, Robinson’s exciting brand of ball, brimming with breathtaking blocks and jaw-dropping alley-oops, appeals to consumers. Of course, playing in the media capital of the world, and for a team with a rabid fanbase, certainly doesn't hurt.
Robinson has also recently signed endorsement contracts with RX Water and Mercedes-Benz of Paramus, and is a brand ambassador for Cambria Suites.

There's not a guarantee that ever happens.
AD does all those things, at a very high level, right now.
I wouldn't let Mitch be the hold up between AD/ no AD.
And I really like Mitch a lot.

I like you as a poster so dont take this personally but this "I would trade Mitch for AD position" frustrates the hell out of me...
Can we keep our own for a change? AD is always injured. His contract is going to be enormous. How many times has he lead his team to the play-offs? We can all agree that KP didnt want to be here so F'em! but when he was healthy our team -we were on our way to the play-offs the first year that it was his team; if he would have remained healthy... AD is not a top 5 player to me- he doesnt have that type of impact on a team and he hasn't had one. The year he finally went there he had Cousins by his side and JH...
Mitch from a defensive stand point alone -where hes headed could be a perennial DPOY.
All you guys talk about culture but as soon as we have something worthwhile- you want to trade it- as soon as you don't like something a coach does you want to fire him. I've had enough of this nonsense...
Mitch can be special on both ends if he puts the work in...
