Donovan Mitchell is having his best season.
On the heels of a 35 point, 3 rebound, 6 assist, 1 steal night on 71.3% true shooting, it’s clear Don’s team impact and balanced game are at career levels.
He’s continued his passing improvement; jumpstarted his focus and energy on defense; and begun to command the team without needing his co-stars on the floor. He’s been truly spectacular.
Despite a tremendous season, there’s some puzzling numbers for him 22 games in, primarily his 3P shooting coming in at a paltry 33.7% after a career year last season.
In fact, a look at the previous two seasons (below) shows Donovan (black dot) above league average (yellow bar) while also being in the upper echelon of total 3FGAs.
