Donovan Mitchell, affectionately known as "Spida," was selected by the Denver Nuggets with the 13th overall pick in 2017 NBA Draft. However, he was later traded to the Utah Jazz, where he emerged as an offensive superstar.
Spida is known for his tremendous offensive versatility as he has many weapons in his offensive arsenal. He is a lethal off-the-ball dribble shooter with a lightning-quick release which makes it exceptionally challenging for defenders to stop him from scoring. On top of that, Mitchell possesses brilliant ball-handling skills, and fluid footwork which enables him to change speeds effortlessly while relentlessly attacking the rim.
During his rookie season, Mitchell's electrifying dunks resulted in him winning the 2018 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Mitchell displayed equally brilliant shooting abilities as he set a rookie record for 3-pointers made, with 186. This record was later surpassed by Sacramento Kings’ Keegan Murray in the 2022-23 season, but Mitchell's impact was indelible.
Four-time all-star Donovan Mitchell's leadership and offensive brilliance propelled the Utah Jazz to the best regular-season record in the 2020-21 NBA season. However, despite five years of consistent regular-season success, the team failed in the playoffs. This eventually led to the decision to trade him to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
