Every year, it’s just taken Donovan Mitchell a little bit of time.
Time to get going, warm up, find his stride. Just like every year of his five-year career, Donovan Mitchell started a bit slow, but has seemed to now found his stride, and the NBA might be in trouble.
Over the last five games, Mitchell is absolutely scorching hot. 31.2 points per game on 57/44/94 shooting splits. That’s pretty unreal. His 156 points in the last five games is the most in the NBA during that span, as well as leading in field goals and three-pointers made.
