With literally every point guard on the Utah Jazz roster out with injuries, it has forced Donovan Mitchell to step into that role for the past two weeks. During that time, I don’t think I am being biased when I say that he has been nothing short of outstanding.
Including the game where Ricky Rubio went down with an injury against the Milwaukee Bucks, Mitchell has posted averages of 29.4 points, 5.0 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game. The Jazz have also gone 6-1 in that stretch, included six wins in a row. As a team, they have also had a 99.
