Good article and perspective but I thought he liked playing there and his mom said that's a good place for him and less distractions.

Great interview from Mitchell :ehh:

Always been a fan, would’ve liked him to be drafted by the Knicks, but wish him the best


Ron Artest and Donovan Mitchell

2 players that grew up in NY that Knicks had a chance to draft but didn't lol

there's no reason in hell why utah has a professional bball team and the likes of seattle or saint louis doesn't.

Ya'll gotta get over Utah like my fellow Pelicans' fans.

They support the team, heavy. Utah Jazz hear to stay.

Ask yourself--if you really don't get something--why the Hawks aren't the most popular team amongst black athletes?

There last big free agent signing?

It's not all about being in a "cool" town.

Worst place to play if u black

No soul food, No barbers, Like 3 black women in the whole state, Mormons and it’s like u drive to the game and back home and even then u get harassed by the cops

on the bright side, those players should be saving a lot of money since they will mostly be in the crib while they in salt lake city.
