Mitchell is overrated as (bleep). He plays no defense and is a total black hole on offense. Dude fails in the playoffs as well.
Give me Garland over Mitchell 10/10 times.

Absolutely ridiculous take. Spida is one of the top defenders in the league.

You guys are both kind of right. He does get tunnel vision as a pick and roll ball handler. But he also can carry a team to wins with his scoring when he's rolling.
His defense is bad far too often and is 6'1" without shoes. So is undersized as a 2 guard. But with his athleticism and 6'10" wingspan. He has been a good defender when he's motivated.
He's put up bonkers stats in the playoffs pretty consistently. But with the way things ended in Utah and how things are going in CLE. He doesn't appear to be a good leader.
We'll see what happens this playoffs.
Mitchell would be the closest thing to Kyrie, Bron has had since CLE. He wouldn't have to guard SGs or be the leader here.
But if DLO keeps balling. And we keep winning. All the way to a chip. Changing things up and trading for Mitchell would make no sense.
