How did Donovan Mitchell compare to past high scoring NBA sophomores?

My what a year can do. Last year we were trying to figure out where Donovan Mitchell would land as a sophomore after a spectacular rookie campaign. While Donovan Mitchell is known for being his toughest critic, even as far as saying, “I only had a really good few months,” he actually had a spectacular sophomore campaign when compared to his other rookies who had high scoring rookie years.

Last year I compared him to other NBA guards who averaged 17ppg or more in their rookie years during the 3 Point Era. The goal was to find out the possible floor and ceiling for Donovan’s sophomore year.
