His defense getting worse each year and not improving on playmaking is worrying. He gotta address those things.
Right. This is what's been bothering me about him, he's always gonna be somewhat of a chucker, but he used to be a serviceable defender. That's not the case anymore.

Jazz are a treadmill team inherently, but a coaching change might be necessary

I will say this, Charles Barkley was right a season or 2 ago when he said Donovan Mitchell isnt that impactful of a player. For any player this day in age to only have maybe 2 double-doubles and 0 triple-doubles shows that.

All he looks to do is score. The stat of passing just 2 times/game to Gobert shows that. He doesnt get rebounds or assists if he is having an off game. Gotta help out in other ways on the court then just scoring.

He is basically Allen Iverson of today, except teams now score 110 a game instead of 85-90, so those points dont mean as much.

Edit: I looked it up, and he has 7 Double-doubles in his career.

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
Jazz gonna blow it up this summer :wow:

He needs to be next to a big playmaker like Cade, Luka, Bron, etc. so that he can play PG on defense covering up his lack of size at the 2, increase his efficiency by adding a little more catch-and-shoot to his game, and having someone in charge so the offense has a better passer and will prevent Mitchell from going Hero-Ball mode which he always does
