Davion Mitchell on his offseason:
“I’m just trying to be the best player I can be. I don’t take anybody’s sh*t. Whatever they think is how they’re going to think. Honestly, I can’t really change the way they think. I’m just going to go out there and get better. Obviously, trying to build a chemistry with Giannis. Obviously, people see me in Greece. Building chemistry with Bam, obviously seeing those things. But just trying to be the best teammate I can be for them.”

NBA fans 1st option bias is so nasty man, you’ll have people say Paolo > Chet cause he’s the first option but yet said 1st option hasn’t lead his team to anything meaningful while orchestrating bottom 8 offenses year after year while the other is one of the most impactful players in the NBA and a HUGE reason why OKC have been as dominant as they’ve been
Kinda crazy considering in the 2021 playoffs, in the 4th + OT
Giannis, not a 1A: 44pts per 100 on 63% eFG and 64% TS with 34% USG
Middleton: 34pts on 51% and 57% with 30%
Jrue: 17pts on 40% and 44% with 17%
Think Giannis does pretty well in the 4th
