Donovan Mitchell’s archetype is a roster construction nightmare:
• Not a natural facilitator → hard to keep bigs like Mobley/Allen constantly involved
• Not a true PG → plays as undersized 2, knocking everyone else out of position (Strus, Merrill, Tyson)
• High-usage ball-dominant scorer → doesn’t create easy off-ball looks for wings, limiting 3&D guys or secondary creators
Fitting pieces around him since the trade has been brutal
Jalen Brunson's performance today is why FG% doesn't mean shit. Real killers don't see or feel a bad shooting night. They always think the next ones going in.
Sixers were the 7 seed bc Embiid could not stay healthy all year and they were also 3-1 vs the Celtics in the playoffs with Embiid
So it’s total bs that the “Sixers are better without Embiid”
Knicks were already way better WITH Embiid and now it’s not even remotely close
