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

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.

Burks has always been a poor finisher

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

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

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"

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

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

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

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

more than Hood and/or Hayward?

6/25/17 11:50am
Hayward is the focus of the defense

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

it seems you certainly have a clue

Because you declared victory without evidence?

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

This is one of the reasons they grabbed him IMO
