Donovan Mitchell as the Utah Jazz’s permanent point guard?
It’s not so far-fetched, really …
When it comes to point guards, Jazz fans have high standards — and rightfully so. Coming out of Gonzaga in the 1984 NBA draft, the Jazz selected John Stockton with the 16th overall pick in the first round. Nineteen NBA seasons later, Stockton would find himself atop the list of all-time NBA assist leaders with 15,806 of ‘em — Jason Kidd is in second 3,715 assists behind him.
To date, the first active NBA player you’ll find on the list is the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Chris Paul in seventh position with 9,389 assists — and counting, of course.
