Is Donovan Mitchell's game similar to Alec Burks game?

6/25/17 11:21am

I see him more as a Wesley Mathews with superior athleticism. Better shooter

I would say Burks is a better finisher at the rim

Burks had the worst finishing % in the NBA last year - really.

only when he's healthy

Burks has always been a poor finisher

2-3" shorter than Mathews though

TNT

6/25/17 11:37am

Yes but Mitchell has a 6'10" wingspan while

Better overall size? What the......

It depends on what you value more.

Burke had good length didn't seem to help him much. Hopefully Mitchell quicker

TNT

6/25/17 12:09pm

Yeah I think it's safe to say Mitchell is far more gifted athletically

thebruce

6/25/17 12:27pm

Meh. TNT isn't going to assume anything from one dunk

TNT

6/25/17 12:29pm

Also Burke had a wingspan of 6'5" Mitchell is 6'10"

thebruce

6/25/17 12:31pm

Can't. TNT has been burned by many a Jazz draft picks

TNT

6/25/17 12:34pm

Mitchell had the fastest 3/4 court sprint time and highest standing vertical at

Burks shot is broken. He'll never be a great outside shooter.

wapiti

6/25/17 11:24am

last time he was healthy he shot 40% from 3.

smokymountainrain

6/25/17 11:25am

41% total fg% in 31 games. Pretty small sample size.

wapiti

6/25/17 11:29am

his career 3pt% is the same as Hood and Hayward

smokymountainrain

6/25/17 11:30am

Fascinating stat given perception.

RdF3

6/25/17 11:46am

lots of wide open looks

wapiti

6/25/17 11:50am

more than Hood and/or Hayward?

smokymountainrain

6/25/17 11:50am

Hayward is the focus of the defense

wapiti

6/25/17 9:59pm

IOW, you have no clue which of the three had the most open looks.

smokymountainrain

6/26/17 8:01am

IOW, you have no clue

wapiti

6/26/17 8:17am

it seems you certainly have a clue

smokymountainrain

6/26/17 8:29am

Because you declared victory without evidence?

wapiti

6/26/17 10:53am

OK. Here's the data. Did I win?

wapiti

6/26/17 12:09pm

What are you talking about.

Shteve

6/25/17 12:27pm

there are similarities, but Burks biggest weakness is his defense, and that is

smokymountainrain

6/25/17 11:27am

This is one of the reasons they grabbed him IMO

-C9-

6/25/17 11:57am

probably the biggest reason. my opinion is that the Jazz saw an elite

smokymountainrain

6/25/17 12:03pm

What is Burks' game? Getting injured?
