Donovan Mitchell took it to another level in the playoffs 

I say this first because it’s the most obvious one but, as we all know, Donovan Mitchell is a superstar in this league and should be the face of Utah for years to come. Regardless of the series’ loss, Mitchell did all he could absolutely shining throughout the entire series, averaging 36.3 points, five rebounds, and 4.9 assists.

In only his third year in the league, he earned his first all-star nod and has become one of the most dynamic young scorers across the NBA.

Rumors have begun to circulate that Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz plan to agree on a max extension come free agency in mid-October. Any Jazz fan has to be ecstatic that they’ll be seeing Mitchell as the face and leader of the franchise for the indefinite future.
