7. Utah Jazz – Ricky Rubio & Donovan Mitchell 

The Utah Jazz have been disappointing to start the season, but the engine behind their success is still the play of Ricky Rubio and Donovan Mitchell, who will have a huge hand in this team turning around the season.

Through the first month of the season, Rubio is averaging 11 points and seven assists. He’s struggling with his shot, but that will eventually turn around – or at least the team is hoping for it to.

Mitchell is picking up where he left off last season, while averaging 21 points and four assists so far. He’s struggling with his shot, like Rubio, but the hope is that too will turnaround at some point this season.
