Player performances and review:

Donovan Mitchell has not been able to take a leap this season compared to his rookie season last year. He has been averaging 21 points per game this season, with just under 4 assists and 4 rebounds.

Everyone was expecting Mitchell to build on his game last season but he has unable to meet the lofty expectations. His shooting efficiency has been questioned a lot, along with his lack of playmaking. But he has certainly been improving.

In the win over the Los Angeles Lakers last night, Mitchell scored 33 points of 58% shooting and managed to grab 9 assists, 4 rebounds, a steal and 2 blocks. The Jazz will be hoping he plays in the same rich vein of form he has hit against the Chicago Bulls.

Alternate pick: Buddy Hield (Sacramento Kings)
