See post below for title. Murray and Harris were not anywhere near this guy as rookies. I still can't believe they traded that pick for two more power forwards while some people said the Nuggets had enough guards. Talent is talent and the Nuggets passed on this guy for one guy who won't play for them this year and another who is only playing because of two recent injuries. Right now Mitchell would be the second best player on the Nuggets with Millsap out. So to summarize we give Portland Nurk and make them much better for it. And now we have gift wrapped Mitchell to Utah and made them much better for it. The Connelly magic has worn off quickly.


Donovan Mitchell went off for a career-high 41 points on 13-of-25 shots in Friday's 114-108 win over the Pelicans, adding four rebounds, four assists and six triples in 37 minutes.
He joins LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Eric Gordon, Steph Curry and Blake Griffin as the only active players with 40+ point games during their rookie seasons. Mitchell couldn't even contain his smile as he racked up 29 second half points after a 12-point deficit at the half, leading the Jazz to their fifth straight win. He's been one of the biggest steals in fantasy drafts and it's hard to believe that the Nuggets traded him for Trey Lyles and Tyler Lydon. Mistakes were made.
