SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell has been named the Western Conference Rookie of the Month once again.
Mitchell received the honors for January on Thursday afternoon after getting it for December.
Perhaps as a testament to his talent more than anything else, Mitchell's performance in the first month of the 2018 calendar year might not have been as eye-popping as his incredible December, but the Louisville product still averaged 22.2 points (best among rookies), 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.5 steals in 35 minutes per game in January.
He becomes the first rookie this season to win the award in back-to-back months.
