Seriously, I'd trade anyone on this roster not named Josh Jackson for that kid.
Utah fleeced Denver. Mitchell as a prospect is way more interesting than Lyles (who I like, but will be backup to Millsap) and the forward tweener Denver drafted at #24.
I love me my Armani, though. And I truly want to see what Jackson and Booker can do together.
Agreed about Mitchell. He looks like a stud. It will be interesting to look back at this draft 5 years from now to see which teams really regret passing on him.
Basketball Reference now has a projection for the upcoming season on each player's page. It's somewhat interesting reading, for prediction nerds. They are not predicting breakout seasons for any of our players that I saw, but I did see that they are predicting Joel Embiid to average 27 points.

Right. They're projecting him to score 27 points per 36 minutes. Which is actually lower than last year (28.7).

Embiid's usage was astonishing last year. Only Westbrook and Cousins had a higher USG%. The sample could be larger but 31 games is significant. This year there is Fultz, Simmons and some other legitimate NBA players so we'll see, but anyway you slice it, the guy is a monster when he actually gets to play.
Dude was ready to retire after the Chip , they beg him to come back for him to end up to chasing around KD and getting torch now to kick him to the curb tsk tsk
