This block was confirmation he was different. The intrigue when his workout vids dropped pre draft was there. After this block I was all in on this guy. He can go out on the perimeter and play D as good or better than any 7 footer and he can play D and rebound in the paint as good any 7 footer. Extremely rare combo. Super hard to exploit in the playoffs

Iām ready for him to take another leap (no pun intended) to dribbling on offense more that 6 times. Mitch did it once yesterday and they have the spacing he might be able to get to the rim himself rather than just being a lob threat.
He can get there with the dribble handoff action they do at the top of the three point line where either Jalen or RJ take ball from him when he rolls, he should be able to fake the pass and beat his defender at some point.

The more I see in this series, the more I think we could have beat the Hawks two years ago if Mitch was healthy. He would have changed the whole dynamic of the series, both by guarding the paint and rebounding.
