My perspective on the season is that Mintz was probably the least impactful 19 ppg scorer I’ve ever seen in my life. There wasn’t a single time the entire season when I thought “ok, this is when Mintz steps it up and closes out this game.” Not once. The games we did win, it felt like it was either Bell shooting out of his mind, Q making key defensive plays and getting to the line because the other team couldn’t handle his size, or Starling stepping up. The one game he had 13 assists was the one time I felt that he controlled the game and brought home a victory. When I think of this year, the lasting image in my brain will be Mintz driving towards the basket, firing a line drive laser beam at the front of the rim, diving on his ass and begging the ref for a foul while the other team scores on a fast break.
