Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell entered the NBA as a below average 3-point shooter. It was something he had to work on, and still has to work on. Mitchell was highly coveted because of his potential, long wingspan and slashing ability.
The 2018 Rookie of the Year runner-up shot just 32.9-percent from three during his college career at Louisville. That isn’t nearly good enough at the NBA level — and remember, the college 3-point line is shorter than the NBA 3-point line.
Subsequently, Mitchell burst onto the scene as an NBA player and made more 3-pointers than any rookie in league history.
