otoh .. What happened to that one game against Portland? You ended up 40-42 and them 41-41. If you win that then you are 41-41 and they are 40-42. So maybe I was correct that that was the crucial game for you.

I think Jazz will snap Rudy Gobert son with the 30th pick
Jonathan Jeanne, born on the same island, same body, quicker on his feet, every tools to become an ace pick & roll defender
Only Red flag

I've loved him as a college player all year, but I'm starting to fully drink the Kool Aid on Donovan Mitchell.
Here's the Draft Express write up on his combine
He shot 35% from 3 and 80% from the FT line this year. I think he was best running a high PnR offensively as a playmaker(where his tight handle and body control/athleticism shine while attacking the rim) despite playing off the ball a lot at Louisville. Some of his best games came in a stretch where Louisville's starting PG was hurt and Mitchell ran a lot of point - vs Clemson, @Pitt, vs NC State.
For some reason DX doesn't have a strengths/weakness video(that I can find at least
) of him like they've always had in years past of all the prospects. They just have one video breakdown of his single game vs Indiana.
EDIT: Found some of his PnR numbers (http://www.sportschannel8.com/top-8-...spects-part-2/)
Here's the Draft Express write up on his combine
Quote:
Louisville Sophomore Guard Donovan Mitchell impressed on day one of the Combine with his huge 6'10 wingspan measurement, and he continued to leave his mark on day two, posting the highest standing vertical leap at 36.5. That number matches the marks of Iman Shumpert and former NBA Dunk Contest Champion Glen Robinson III. Mitchell also posted the fastest three-quarter court sprint time at just 3.01 seconds, which is the quickest time since Sonny Weems ran a 2.96 at the 2008 Combine. His 40 ½ inch max vertical was the fourth best at the Combine, and he also shot the ball well in the drills we watched. Mitchell, who just recently signed with an agent, has certainly boosted his stock with some elite physical and athletic testing - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/article/...analysis-5930/ ©DraftExpress

Mitchell has really evolved as a shot-maker and creator. Mitchell’s three-point accuracy jumped 12 percent, and 54.5 percent of his “unguarded” catch-and-shoot opportunities this season, according to Synergy. Mitchell could slice up a defense with his passes as well; when the sophomore was a passer in pick-and-rolls, his teammates shot an impressive 54.5 percent.
Mitchell’s in-between game could use some work, however; he’s shot just 27.6 percent on runners, according to Synergy, and 32 percent on jumpers inside 17 feet. Mitchell is 60 percent jet fuel, so he will always be able to get to the rim, but in the NBA that becomes much more challenging and painful. If he’s running pick-and-rolls on the next level, this midrange attack game will need some work.

His defense will always be a boon for him, too. Mitchell ranks 34th nationally in steal rate, per KenPom; roughly four percent of opponents’ possessions end with a steal when Mitchell is on the floor. Additionally, opponents have shot just 27.9 percent on spot-ups and 21.1 percent on pick-and-rolls defended by Mitchell, per Synergy
