[@prodgiddy]

Rookie of the year for sure!

[@scarfacereivax7857]

HoopsOlogy so sad he got robbed.. I bet next season he will be an mvp candidate for sure..

[@BrennanDipippo]

His play style reminds me of Iverson, his aggressiveness and alpha mentality. He has the potential to be one of the greats, and as a sixer fan he deserves ROY award. No one expected Utah to be that good that soon

[@fightnight14]

2:05 Utah homecourt is lit! They really nailed this sunset theme

[@georgehunter6715]

fightnight14 Its not a sunset theme, it’s a theme for southern utah it’s full of red sand and arches. it’s pretty cool tho

[@polklovesrt10]

I don't normally people realize how good this young man is. I've played Collegian semi-pro basketball, and I can tell you the type of shot selection with the good foot work and fundamentally sound game, I don't even have to talk about the freakish athleticism... he can and shoot and score with both hands... Most players in the NBA have a hard-time to never learning these things, and he's done this as I rookie. I see now why Chris Paul (TOP 5 POINT GUARD OF ALL TIME) , said Mitchell is gonna to be good for a long time..

[@jstiles1659]

D-MITCHELL will be a jazz great no question.

[@tradariusmaddox6827]

Jay Lee Hope doesn’t turn to another D Rose

[@jstiles1659]

tradarius maddox Ikr, But don't speak that up.

[@tradariusmaddox6827]

Jay Lee lol. Was thinking if I should delete that comment

[@jstiles1659]

tradarius maddox Nah, Speak your mind

[@1survivor566]

I think he'll be an all time great, not just a Jazz great

[@jqa16]

this guy is not a rookie but a superstar!

[@GuttaVisionMediaGroup]

Rookie Of The Year 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@dflowhoops]

yup

[@GuttaVisionMediaGroup]

DFLOW's NBA Talk 🤘🏽😎

[@eddiedelbosque]

Neap

[@QuietQuill]

Too bad they gave it to Ben Simmons. What a joke lol Im willing to bet they didnt want donovan to have dunk contest and ROTY. What a shame

[@lazarosoberano2030]

AAAAAAAA

[@brzy1188]

Future HOFer, potentially an all time great.

[@Chris-sr3lc]

Agreed

[@toyotocorolla]

Calm down lmao

[@1survivor566]

Yep I agree 100%. With some players you can just see the greatness early on. This dude is special. On the court he does things most other players can't do, things that can't be taught. And on top of that, his work ethic is unreal. All of the all time greats have great work ethic. He has it too. His teammates say he is always in the gym or watching game film. During the Rockets series Kobe Bryant critiqued Donovan's game and gave advice on how Donovan could improve. Donovan said he listened to it multiple times. He said he actually fell asleep with his headphones on listening to so it would sink in to his brain. He wants to be great. The dude just has IT.

[@nashakmad407]

Cmon lets not go there..

[@kennethlouie250]

If he will not be the Rookie of the Year , then NBA must be out of their minds .

[@trydn1049]

This kid carried a jazz team who had just lost its best player and were doubted the whole season, whilst Simmons has a solid team built around him

[@yeon723]

It is confirmed. Donovan Mitchell is the greatest player of all time.

[@SwayInstinct]

the scary thing is that he's still developing he's got a long way to go

[@3KRacing]

Instinct Long way? Naw this guy found a shortcut because he's already a top 25 player in the league as a rookie!!!

[@kalloused]

This kid plays like a 7 time all-star. It's just insane.

[@LoftyXsWaGX34]

His offensive iq is off the charts. Reminds me of kyrie in the sense that he is so spontaneous, you can never tell what move he’s gonna use.

[@yuhanzhao4658]

Lol, IQ and Kyrie don't belong in the same conversation

[@LoftyXsWaGX34]

yuhan zhao kyrie has a tremendous iq on offense, especially iso. He seems to counter every defense on the spot.

[@blahblah4961]

He meant overall IQ, not basketball IQ. The dudes a flat earther.

[@leondre4185]

LoftyXsWaGX34 he ain't kyrie

[@LouieVIsOnMe]

23 ur right kid he's wayyyyy better

[@theessence1758]

This guys game is toooo sick

[@jawpoppinoff6511]

D Wade with a better jump shot. Hope he works on his playmaking, he showed he can be pretty damn good at that

[@Code0866]

dont even compare him to wade yet lol.

[@leondre4185]

Jawpoppin Off he ain't no d wade.

[@bespushkule3136]

Straight up, young D Wade is the best comparison. Both had the wicked first step. Both were clutch in their rookie playoff debuts. Both slashers. Both have mid range, decent 3pt, and drives. Both create their own and for others. Both are just simply amazing and entertaining. Hate when compared to Westbrook. Nothing at all, besides the both being athletic scoring guards. Difference is Mitchell always seems in control of his body, and plays. Westbrook not so much, dudes a loose cannon. Not my cup of tea.

[@bespushkule3136]

NBA Players why not, both have similar styles, at least to the rookie Wade. They both had great playoff debuts in their rookie seasons, and were both the leaders of their teams in the playoffs. And both were clutch. I remember Wades gw floater vs Indiana and vs Hornets like it was yesterday. Mitchell literally does the same floater. So it’s safe to compare them, at least their rookie years. But he has a longggg way to go as career wise against Wade. Dudes a walking legend, shame injuries took a toll on his career, yet he’s still a top 3 or 4 Shooting Guard all time, which says a lot, but still doesn’t get the respect due. Happens when playing in Lebron’s era.

[@cherryflare4312]

Even Dwade knows it

[@user-je7tv5gl4j]

Just say wow....

[@mrpowell143]

This dude is a beast

[@padfire894]

rookie of the year !!!

[@graizen6190]

That spin move though!

[@trydn1049]

Ben simmons highlights will be 2 minutes long

[@dillcifer]

Trydn kzbin.info/www/bejne/qme4i6majt-tqLs they’re amazing 😂🤣

[@wweecwwcwtna1928]

Way better than that overrated simmons

[@prodgiddy]

wweecwwcwtnanba1928 he ain't overrated much, but he still definetely is not better than Donovan mitchell

[@jezuzgomez6190]

@@prodgiddy he ain't overrated bum

[@jezuzgomez6190]

@Hal Jordan he Gon be shooting 3s on yo favorite player pussy

[@alvaro4867]

What a great player, talent athleticism, and a competitive actitude.

[@innerfire2399]

He reminds me of D-Wade. Tell me i am not the only one!

[@3KRacing]

Dexter Du I'll give you another one... He finishes like Ginobli, also contorts his body like him too. But yes he's definitely been studying Wade for a very long time... He's mastered all of his moves

[@jackconnolly5339]

Donovan Mitchell is such a stud. If Hayward stayed the Jazz would be a top 5 NBA team no doubt.

[@ladodgers5164]

He got a lot of moves in his bag.. if he continues to progress he will be a great player for years to come.

[@thiagomeneses5834]

Monster

[@thatguybass]

This dude though!!!

[@russiandevil14]

Already better than Gordon Hayward

[@FireRust]

Hayward is still amazing lets be real, as a Jazz fan i'm also a bit salty about what took place; lets move on. But yeah, Mitchell is doing better than what it took Gordon 6 years to do! SPIDA YOU MY ROCKSTAR

[@Lyndonz1]

The first one was the best

[@ladodgers5164]

Cold!!!

[@adamzullo3624]

DM put the jazz on his back all year, but in the playoffs he was at another level. He reminds me of Allen Iverson in that I think he could one day carry this jazz team to a finals as the lone scorer just like Iverson did the 76ers. Has a lot of Iverson in him.

[@Mr.Marcuzz]

Them handles! 😱

[@amirvasquexx4443]

finally saw him play against OkC shit this guy is talent in the making A natural

[@BLKxMGO]

Best Rookie since LeBron

[@Apsolutely17]

This draft class is crazy!!

[@owet4715]

When you get an all time great like reggie miller to be in awe of your game on national tv, you're social. These HOFA guys know a player when they see one.

[@juliasssimp6355]

DM for rookie of the year

[@ChinaNumber_1]

Mitchell is really talented

[@rumbajuice]

NBA is in good hands.

[@lawsonpinegar8690]

Watched it in slow motion just so I could study those drives. man I wish I could get my hands hands on the film the jazz coaches gave him to study Because he said there was like five different moves that he "mastered" That spin is definitely one lol

[@adamcarbo73]

Lawson Pinegar lol, I think most of this shit is just natural, and he is so gifted with dribbling he has so much confidence with unreal athleticism. To be his height usually you gotta be crafty to get as far as he did. I am sure the Jazz helped for sure but It's like they knew what he was and just unleashed him on the world. He's a god damn highlight reel and think he was likely misused at Louisville mixed with wrong offensive scheme, but he is Currys height with similiar ball skills plus freakish athleticism that allows him to play above the rim like he was 6 ft 6 lol. He has brought a whole new style of play, and he is not to shabby from down town, if he perfect that, he will be virtually unstoppable. I dont recall his free throw percentage , but I am pretty sure it was decent and that's another big plus. He can block Steven Adams for gods sake lol. He has that it factor and he knows it.

[@angrybird586]

Rookie Of The Year!

[@carterhoffman4143]

THIS GUY IS NO ROOKIE HES A STAR

[@cringeproductions6136]

Grayson Allen and Donavan Mitchell are gonna have a great duo

[@I_ate_at_burger_king]

If he works on his playmaking he's gonna be a force to be reckoned with in a couple of year

[@trendthecreator6976]

Rookie of the got dam year 🔥

[@christopherbanasijan-bsn1s278]

at .24 the guy's reaction says it all

[@Michaeltison7]

He’s honestly better than Ben Simmons,he knows how to take the lead,he’s far more mature than him,more skilled,and he plays with more heart

[@Kunta1926]

Are there really people out there who thinks Ben Simmons is the roty?

[@gabe22306]

They've been living under a rock

[@Player_Review]

Some Sixers fans, not many others.

[@adamzullo3624]

GUNSnSTUFF sadly there are, and many that came out and said they voted Simmons have publicly stated they wish they could change their vote after watching the playoffs.

[@Player_Review]

Adam Zullo - I've heard the opposite, the voters that I heard announce their votes were for Donovan. It is, of course, a regular season award and Reggie Miller and others just felt Donovan was roty.

[@lj4078]

GUNSnSTUFF yeah and he is going to win lmao. Only thing Mitchell does better is score

[@noreal8576]

Esketit here before 1K

[@HSnyds_00]

5 Ben Simmons fans watched this

[@russell2890]

i think i have a new favorite nba player

[@chunkitlee7364]

He’ll one day be the MVP

[@charloteagari5120]

2 years and playing at a superstars level

[@alfredosamuel7257]

Hey, Donovan Mitchell. please visit my country Indonesia!

[@Jpimpster20]

His favorite move is the spin move

[@2copyfaze821]

Younger version of brodie

[@alexcuellar484]

Young Wade but with a Jumper. Fucken LETHAL

[@madrosczwiekiem6885]

Athetic Rookie of the year

[@dunnodunno4620]

D-MITCHELL = HEALTHY D-ROSE

[@ericegida1475]

Rookie of the year

[@pascalmakal]

ROTY 🕷🕷🕷

[@SapphicTwist]

Over the last decade, we've seen an evolution in guard play: Chris Paul to Steph Curry to Russell Westbrook to Dame Lillard to Kyrie Irving to James Harden to... Donovan Mitchell.

[@usumakinaruto3183]

Going to gsw?

[@everything1k174]

He got next

[@javiermenjivar6604]

donovan mitchell and giannis antetokounmpo future NBA

[@georgesanchez8051]

Better than Ben S1ptmmons

[@miguelurbina6151]

Ben Simmons highlights for the 2018 playoffs is 4:21 long and he's paired up with Embid. But Ben should win ROTY cuz that will only motivate Mitchel

[@chuchuchuchia]

Inserting Kawhi to Jazz lineup sounds kind of amazing...

[@JuiceMagee]

I mean he just blow by everyone lol 🔥🔥

[@goldfish2156]

The real ROTY

[@pokemonquartz04]

0:33 reminds me old rose

[@icet854]

this could be the best time of Utah Jazz's fans

[@briantaylor8836]

Mitchell is the next= Dwayne Wade/ Russell Westbrook Combo Simmons is the next= Anthony Bennett, Greg Oden, Kwame Brown. The 6'10 power forward has to play point guard to get decent stats. Mitchell for ROY.

[@noreal8576]

Biased Opinion.

[@thebutlerdidit365]

Brian Taylor Obvious jazz fan hating on the player who will actually end up winning rookie of the year, and Clearly don’t kno basketball lmao

[@wileyschmitt]

Simmons is good, Mitchell is better, but it's close at the moment. At the end of their careers though I'd bet heavily on Mitchell to outshine Simmons, but Simmons will be fine, even without a jumper.

[@coltonthompson5978]

Mitchell for ROY. But Simmons plays at the point because he has elite vision.

[@fujibooze3594]

TheButler DidIT simmons got 1 point in a game so yeah ur right simmons is a rookie lol mitchell a veteran

[@BajaDeezNutz]

This man is already better than Westbrook, and he’s proven it this postseason. He just needs to be more consistent from behind the arc and it’s game over, you can’t stop Mitchell.

[@klaysenhardy1404]

Roty

[@carven4072]

He’s the next Kobe WATCH!!

[@scarfacereivax7857]

He can do shamgod on a buzzer beater..

[@sandyedler2042]

His power, speed, agility, and aggressiveness really similar like westbrook. I think it's westbrook in rookie body. I just hope his mental and emotion doesn't end up like westbrook too. If he does, then he's not gonna go anywhere.

[@rage05gamer25]

D-MITCHELL is next goat

[@fahada1921]

now you need to upload the highlights of Ben Simmons' one point game.

[@JuiceMagee]

Damn why myplayer look so real rn

[@miguelurbina6151]

Mitchel will win an MVP award sooner than Ben.

[@johnhunt9674]

The REAL roty

[@garnachadeals9348]

wtf that dude flies

[@akonggifingers3726]

What position does Mitchel play?

[@Player_Review]

Shooting Guard. He's undersized for the position, but seems to be managing it quite well.

[@Player_Review]

For sure. His 6'10" wingspan really allows him to do some amazing things.
