Are the Cleveland Cavaliers genuine contenders? Pelicans keep struggling; 2023 NBA Draft Comparison Battles, Round One

Mark Schindler is here, and we have three topics for the day.

First, we chat Cleveland Cavaliers and Donovan Mitchell, asking if Mitchell has been the most consistently great guard in the NBA this season? And can they actually win the 2023 NBA title?

Then, we move to the New Orleans Pelicans. As the team gets healthy outside of Zion, they're still struggling. Why?

Finally, we do NBA Draft comparison battles. We bring up two names with somewhat similar roles/ideals for their future translation, and break them down in comparison to one another. We do three of them: Jordan Hawkins vs. Gradey Dick; Taylor Hendricks vs. Jarace Walker; Colby Jones vs. Terrance Shannon Jr.
