MookieMonstah Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 6 hours ago, NYRaider said: Of active players remaining in the playoffs with 25+ games played he's second in PPG behind Kevin Durant. In his last 11 playoff games he's averaging 33.4 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 4.2 apg on 50% FG, 47% 3FG, 94% FT. The Jazz in the playoffs this year with Mitchell in the lineup are averaging 127 ppg, lol. We do know where Tatum as the #1 option gets you, in the playoff tournament then bounced in 5 games. Yes, Tatum isn't a good enough #1 either.

You get so caught up in these weird analytics no one cares about. Mitchell has already shown he can put dudes in the torture chamber in playoff basketball and become unstoppable.

He’s scored a lot but he hasn’t been particularly efficient and it was against the Grizzlies lol. I like Mitchell but I don’t think you win a ring with him as a #1.

Fresh Prince Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Lebron, KD weren’t good enough to win as #1 options either. Till they surrounded themselves with other great players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only argue maybe 3 instances where a player carried a team to a title without a legit #2 option. It's so rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of those two series he's averaging over 30 ppg on good efficiency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
