Donovan Mitchell is friends with quarterback Lamar Jackson from his time spent at Louisville, and the Utah Jazz standout rookie believes Jackson is the best quarterback in the 2018 NFL draft class.
"I think he's the best one, I'm not going to lie," he told Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.
Mitchell may be biased, but he knows a little something about rookies making a huge impact, as he's averaging 25.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals after his first three postseason appearances. After a fantastic regular season, he's in the conversation for Rookie of the Year with Philadelphia's Ben Simmons.
