Donovan Mitchell takes time out from playoffs to root on Lamar Jackson
(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (45) heads down court, after putting the Jazz up by 20 with a 3-point-shot, in game 4, NBA playoff action between Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder, in Salt Lake City, Monday April 23, 2018.Utah Jazz rookie guard Donovan Mitchell could be what Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson was in college football — a sleek and powerful athlete who has taken the country by storm.
Or, maybe, Lamar Jackson is set to be the Donovan Mitchell of the NFL — overlooked to a degree by scouts who see him as a tweener, leaving him with lots of motivation to prove people wrong.
