NBA: How are the Sophomores doing this season?

Jayson Tatum

Cleveland Cavaliers v Boston Celtics - Game Five

The best highlight of Jayson Tatum has to be of him dunking all over LeBron James during the Playoffs last season. He was the focal point of the Celtics who played without Kyrie Irving in the Playoffs last year. Last year he averaged 13.9 points, 5 rebounds and 1.6 assists a night.

This year, he is averaging 16 points and 7 rebounds per game. He started the season in red-hot form putting on some amazing offensive performances which overshadowed a perennial All-Star like Kyrie Irving but since then, there's been a dip in his form.

Donovan Mitchell

Oklahoma City Thunder v Utah Jazz - Game Six

He was the drafted #13 overall and many believed that Donovan Mitchell should have won the Rookie Of The Year last season, but Ben Simmons ran away with the award. He was labeled as the next Dwayne Wade and certainly lived up to the hype.

He's putting up identical numbers this year as well and continues to impress everyone. Having said that, The Utah Jazz is underperforming this season or should we say they overperformed last season when they beat the OKC Thunder in the first round of the Playoffs?

He's currently averaging 20 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game compared to his averages of 20.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.7 this season. Over the 2 years, he's been the best player amongst the lot.
