Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (Russell Isabella-USA TODAY Sports)
Fans of the Utah Jazz know they have a special player in Donovan Mitchell. How close is the 24-year-old All-Star to competing for the league’s highest individual award?
Longtime fans of the Utah Jazz have waited a considerable amount of time for one of their favorite players to receive the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award. The last Jazzman to receive that honor was Karl Malone during the 1996-97 season. Since then, the Jazz have rostered a number of talented players, but none have hoisted the Maurice Podoloff trophy.
