5 regular season statistics that should raise more eyebrows

#3 Donovan Mitchell is averaging 23.1 points per game for the month of March

Mitchell in action against the Kings

Mitchell is tearing it up for the Utah Jazz in their concerted push to cement a playoff berth. Not only is he currently one of the most well-rounded scoring threats in the league among all players today, he has been historically great as a rookie.

Mitchell's points per game average for the month of March is better than that of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Allen Iverson. In fact, among rookies since 1995, only Carmelo Anthony and Tim Duncan average more points per game than Mitchell.

Mitchell has been the Jazz's primary scoring threat all season long and has also been consistently effective on both ends of the floor. At this point, Mitchell deserves to be considered the favorite in the Rookie of the Year race.
