Utah Jazz: 5 Best Jazz Players since 2000

Donovan Mitchell has become the cornerstone of this franchise in a very short amount of time

#1 Donovan Mitchell

Donovan Mitchell is a superstar already in this league

While it might be strange to call a player in his second season the greatest Jazz player since 2000, Donovan Mitchell is the leader of the franchise at the age of 22 and is expected to have a decorated career in the NBA, barring any serious injuries. In is rookie year, he was involved in a close battle for the Rookie of the Year award with Ben Simmons, and even though he missed it, a lot of people called it a snub.

Mitchell averaged 20.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game last year and even led the Utah Jazz past the first round of playoffs. None of the NBA fans will forget the way he single-handedly led the attack against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which had three All-Stars on it.

For a 13th overall pick to be doing the kind of stuff he's doing on the court is definitely a great accomplishment, and the entire NBA universe needs to watch out as this kid gets ready to takeover the league.
