    Donovan Mitchell is a poor mans wade dude is inefficient as hell.

      not really, he is shooting better than wade on 2pts its just he takes a larger volume of 3’s

      D wade is my favorite player ever… But you’re disrespecting Mitchell he is playing out of position at SG … They should have tried to make a move for Beal when they had the chance

      Way better shooter than wade. Wade better defender. Donovan more all around player but not as special as prime wade

      I mean D Wade wasn’t really notorious for being uber efficient when he was in the top 5 in the league in scoring anyway.

      Not similar at all, not as athletic if that’s the parallel you’re trying to draw. Definitely more similar to Wade with a jumper.

      Yurhomi 24 ur wrong he’s right

      stop it, only player that plays similar to MJ in the league is Kawhi rn. Just less athletic than MJ was

  5. Axel Pleno

    They should start to play him at the point, like harden.

    • Mr CrossEmUp

      January 12, 2019 at 8:59 pm

      wait, this whole time I thought he was running point lol

      I say if we can get a good 3 and D SG like Josh Richardson or Avery Bradley they should trade Rubio start mitchell-richardson-ingles-crowder/favors-gobert.

    Trade Ingram. I like the guy but get a star PF or a star SG

    • SK

      January 12, 2019 at 6:40 pm

      Fax ingram for beal or use ingram to get Anthony Davis.

    • Lars Honeytoast

      January 14, 2019 at 4:18 pm

      Ingram is basically a star sg with the ability to rebound and play defense

    • C Moneh

      January 14, 2019 at 9:20 pm

      +Lars Honeytoast ingram is not a star and wont be dawg, his career high EVER 32

    • C Moneh

      +SK the only way lakers get AD is if kuzma is getting traded to and if AD wants to leave

    Nah harden’s dunk on javale was better

    Mitchell needs to develop a better all around play in order to be seriously compared to D-Wade. Wade averaged 5-6rpg and 6-7apg in his prime

    • Michael Oates

      January 13, 2019 at 4:33 pm

      He got meniscus taken out at college. How many guys can you say in 4 years start career could win three rings?

      05 was injured game 7 against Pistons had best record. Comes back following year and has one best playoff runs annihilates everyone. Then 07 after greatest achievement he dislocated his shoulder. He would beaten the Pistons again LJ ass and went back to the finals. Spurs played like Mavs he definitely would beat them in 05 that’s just fact

    • Michael Oates

      January 13, 2019 at 4:34 pm

      How about he can compare to Wade when plays defensive like him Wade was a monster on defense

    • stoic romulan

      January 14, 2019 at 10:14 am

      +Michael Oates 3 rings in 4 years to start his career? Hell no. Do the math. D wade did not win 3 rings in 4 yrs to start his career

    • Michael Oates

      January 14, 2019 at 10:52 am

      Smh listen I said if he was fully healthy 05,06,07 he had a great chance. Miami has best record in 05 only lost to Pistons game 7 because Shaq was hurt. Following year Wade was unstoppable his whole playoff run and after his greatest achievement he dislocated his shoulder he could easily went back to finals already beating the Pistons and would of smoked Lj

    He’s Dwayne Wade if the flash didn’t lockdown on d, rebound tenaciously and constant slashing

    • stoic romulan

      January 14, 2019 at 10:11 am

      Yep but dwade had no jumper. That’s why he struggles now

  16. Michael Oates

    January 13, 2019 at 4:35 pm

    Maybe a little but Wade was a complete monster on defense and was a slasher the likes I have never seen

    • stoic romulan

      January 14, 2019 at 10:10 am

      With no jumpshot. That’s why he struggles now.

    January 13, 2019 at 6:35 pm

    For all Yall saying Mitchell is better at PG and we should trade Rubio ? calm down. Mitchell is on a hot streak and if you’ve been paying attention this started long before the jazz Injuries. Keep in mind these numbers are against tanking teams. The jazz were down 20 against the magic and nearly let the bulls back in. Calm down, this is good for Spida but we need a team.

  18. Great Pyrenese

    January 14, 2019 at 3:37 am

    It took them this long to realize he was a PG … How are y’all professional analyst

  19. your highness

    January 14, 2019 at 10:09 pm

    Slightly over rated and no where near D Wade

  20. Chris Burnett

    January 15, 2019 at 8:09 pm

    THANK YOUUUUUU I been saying this from day one last year…..all I needed to see is how he splits those doubles like D Wade revolutionized and I knew who he reminded me of. Those were the days when D Wade got all the shine he deserved for TRULY carrying a team to a ring…..then he ruined all of that by letting his weasel of a friend Bron Bron come to Miami and put a massive blemish on his entire career with Miami.

    TF he plays nothing like Wade, to me he’s a more athletic version of Gilbert Arenas.
