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

the NBA combine this year. He's not polished but he has excellent physical ability and potential.

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

Yes but Mitchell has a 6'10" wingspan while

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

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

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

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

Fascinating stat given perception.

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?

What are you talking about.

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

What is Burks' game? Getting injured?
