Probably Donovan Mitchell

Mitchell without question.

I know thats the answer, but theres all of a sudden a ton of hype behind mitchell, ive even seen him mentioned in the ROY discussing (Sam Smith, Bulls writer said he was his pick to win ROY)

If you believe that much in Mitchell, then Lamb would be the drop since he only has value until Batum comes back. But that said, Batum's injury/recovery could go wonky since he's doing rehab and not surgery - which is never a guarantee that it heals in time. Lamb could get substantial run, and hold value for over half the season - longer if they slowly work Batum back.

Mitchell's Summer League and Preseason look has been solid, but remember the level of comp he's facing in both. He's a below avg shooter and ball handler currently, so I wouldn't put a ton of stock into the Bulls beat writer who, you know, covers the Bulls and not the Jazz.

If it's roto and these are bench guys, then feel free to stash Mitchell, just understand the value you'd be losing in Lamb, and that Mitchell is a long shot to have a better impact than Lamb or a waiver wire guy once Lambs value runs out.

If you need to convince yourself to drop one of others...

Jeremy Lamb - Has the least long term value of the 3 once Batum returns.

Olynyk - Could end up with similar minute distribution and value as last year.

Smart - Will be a drag in fg%/points if you need those categories.

Nah, dont need to convince myself, just wanted to throw it all out there, im gonna stick with the three i have an keep mitchell on the watch list...now with this mirotic broken bone in the face, might look to add markannen
