Yesterday, Kevin O’Connor from the Ringer put together a list of MVP sleepers and what they need to work on over the summer to increase their odds. Donovan Mitchell made the list:
Mitchell’s progress has been rapid, and he checks a lot of the boxes as an elite athlete unafraid to take clutch shots. He can defend, pass, and score from every area of the floor. He’s improved significantly already, and is part of a player-development system that typically gets the best out of its young players. If there’s any young player who can continue exceeding expectations, it’s Mitchell.
