Come on LeBron Donovan, put your Dallas jersey on.
Good question...I guess, yeah. I mean, he's younger, so maybe a little higher than McCollum?? I don't have an accurate read on the comparison because CJ has never had to carry the same type of load Mitchell does.
But, I think Mitchell gets a push to his rep because he's (to your point) in a market where stars won't go. He's the primary offensive weapon there, so of course the full machinery of the Jazz pushes constantly to make him as big of a star as possible.
I think he's very, very good, don't get me wrong. Definitely capable of taking over 1-3 games of this series, for sure. I'm just not scared of him the way I have been of Kawhi Leonard these past two years, for example. Or Jokic, if Denver was the opponent. Etc, etc.
