No. 24 Utah Jazz- Donovan Mitchell (Louisville, SO, Shooting Guard)

Not big in stature, Donovan Mitchell plays like big man. He plays tough nosed, in your face defense and I feel could be a player many teams regret not taking.

Mitchell is a solid two-way player, averaging 15.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.1 steals on 41 percent from the field and 35 percent from beyond the arc.

The future of Gordon Hayward is a question for the Jazz right now, and Mitchell gives the Utah Jazz guard depth if that departure were to happen. Plus, getting Mitchell at this point in the draft would be the best-case scenario for Utah.
