On January 16, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. As of today, the NBA regular season has been nearly halfway through the season, and the Jazz are currently in Fourth place in the West with 28 wins and 14 losses. In recent times, the team's top scorer Mitchell has been caught up in rumors.
In one show, NBA celebrities Tim Mac Mahon and Windhorst discuss mitchell's future. Tim MacMahon said many people inside the NBA revealed that Mitchell may be concerned that the market for his team is too small. "For Mitchell, the size of salt lake city's market may have some impact," he said. ”
Windhorst said that although Mitchell had a great season with the Jazz, the number of All-Star votes he received did not match his performance. In the 2022 All-Star First Round Fan Poll Results, Mitchell ranked 7th in the Western Conference backcourt. In the second round of all-Star voting results, Mitchell fell to 8th place.
Earlier today, Mitchell dismissed those claims in an interview, saying: "When we lose, they always like to talk a lot. I don't understand what they mean when they talk about these things, whenever we start losing, they like to do something negative, when we win, they're all quiet, our goal is the championship! ”
Mitchell has averaged 25.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals this season, shooting 45.3% from the field and 34.6% from three-point range. It's just that as two reporters put it, Mitchell's All-Star vote doesn't match his strength, as well as the Jazz's ranking.
So far in his career, the 25-year-old Mitchell has been playing for the Jazz. He has been named to the All-Star Team twice, a key NBA dunk contest, a Player of the Month and a Player of the Week three times. However, the Jazz have not played well recently, they have suffered a wave of four consecutive losses, and the ranking has also been surpassed by the Grizzlies.
