Yes but Mitchell has a 6'10" wingspan while
Mathews has a 6'8" wingspan. So Mitchell arguably has better overall size.
Let's just hope he can shoot as well as Mathews. If he can shoot 38+% from 3 he will be as good or better than Mathews IMO.
Big if, tho.

Is Donovan Mitchell's game similar to Alec Burks game?

I see him more as a Wesley Mathews with superior athleticism. Better shooter

I would say Burks is a better finisher at the rim

Burks had the worst finishing % in the NBA last year - really.

Burks has always been a poor finisher

Burke had good length didn't seem to help him much. Hopefully Mitchell quicker
TNT

Yeah I think it's safe to say Mitchell is far more gifted athletically

Meh. TNT isn't going to assume anything from one dunk

6/25/17 12:29pm
Also Burke had a wingspan of 6'5" Mitchell is 6'10"

Can't. TNT has been burned by many a Jazz draft picks

Burks shot is broken. He'll never be a great outside shooter.

last time he was healthy he shot 40% from 3.

41% total fg% in 31 games. Pretty small sample size.

his career 3pt% is the same as Hood and Hayward

Fascinating stat given perception.

lots of wide open looks
wapiti
6/25/17 11:50am
more than Hood and/or Hayward?
smokymountainrain
6/25/17 11:50am
Hayward is the focus of the defense
wapiti
6/25/17 9:59pm
IOW, you have no clue which of the three had the most open looks.

it seems you certainly have a clue

Because you declared victory without evidence?

OK. Here's the data. Did I win?

there are similarities, but Burks biggest weakness is his defense, and that is

This is one of the reasons they grabbed him IMO

probably the biggest reason. my opinion is that the Jazz saw an elite
