For context, Donovan was criticizing Trailblazer Gary Trent for "Trying to punk us" and Dame Lillard wrote in response, "Man stop". A few minutes later Donovan writes back, "I said what I said".

Update #1: Donovan Mitchell writes back to a fan who says not to disrespect the "OGs young blood" and Donovan writes, back, "Man ain’t not disrespect ain’t no beef im not finna let gary Trent talk shit and that’s just what it is..."

update #2: Gary Trent writes in response to Donovan's initial post, "lol"

Will update if Dame and others continue this back and forth

On 52 / 36 / 83 shooting. Donnie better be an all-star.

Mitchell and Murray made 33 and 32 three pointers respectively during their series. Jimmy butler made 29 during the regular season.

Donovan Mitchell: “ROY”

Kuz: I second that

blake: 🗣🗣🗣 third

Title, literally the first thing I would have tried would be how are things with a new head coach, changing how he wants to play the game, how is Donovan still here and all these players aren’t :(

Fully enjoyable and with great insights. Both could have a career in broadcasting after their playing days.

Wish CJ was there as well

> Rick Pitino told us on @SiriusXMNBA he tried to convince the Knicks to select Donovan Mitchell with the 8th pick in 2017... They told him they couldn't do it at #8, and took Frank Ntilikina instead.

I fucking love the draft. As a gambler, I appreciate teams betting on players working out for them when they use their highest picks in the draft to select them after a ton of research and consideration. I also love looking back at how those 'bets' turned out, especially around the 3-4 year mark when players have had a good amount of time to develop in the league and are up for contract extensions. Many different media outlets tell us who should be drafted when and why, I chose The Ringers mock draft as one source, and the Bleacher Report post-draft grades as the other for this chart. BBRef was used for the stats. This chart shows the following:

It’s comforting at least that even with all of the close contact over the last week, only one other player on the Jazz contracted it.

Listening to this rising stars game, these guys are actually better than some national tv guys. Both have good voices for it too. You love to see it!

This is exactly what Mitchell needed to do, as he goes on to score 33 Pts on 57% shooting 4 Rebs and 7 Asts. The Jazz came back from a 21 point deficit to win the game against the Magic.

Here are the stats.

The consensus before the season was that Mitchell should get efficient once Bogdanovic and Conley join the team to provide extra spacing. If he’s able to continue this hot start, he’ll make a big leap towards the superstar status.

> According to Tony Jones of The Athletic, Mitchell "genuinely loves playing for the Jazz" and "will sign a max contract extension at some point before next season."
