Top 3 Performers from the 2017 NBA draft this season

#2 Donovan Mitchell

Donovan Mitchell has become the best offensive player for the Jazz

Donovan Mitchell has become the most important player for the Jazz in his sophomore year only. The Utah Jazz will go as far as Mitchell will take them.

Mitchell has been averaging 20.6 PPG this season and has become the Jazz most potent offensive threat. Mitchell had a terrific rookie season where he led the Jazz to a playoff series victory over Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was arguably the Rookie of the Year last season according to most people.

Mitchell has continued his scoring onslaught this season. But his percentages have dipped a bit. He is shooting 41.8% from the field and only 29.2% from the 3PT line. He has become the priority on defense for the opposition teams and they are continuously double-teaming him.

The Jazz are struggling at the moment with a 9-12 record in the deep Western Conference and will be relying on Mitchell to guide them to the playoffs.
