Time to see Donovan Mitchell as a point guard, not shooting guard
Jeff Swinger-USA TODAY SportsDonovan Mitchell’s draft profile listed him as a shooting guard out of Louisville. His position on ESPN, Basketball Reference, NBA.com and any other site that has rosters, lists Mitchell as a shooting guard.
That needs to change.
In games where Donovan has started at point guard, the Jazz are 6-0. They’re also 2-0 in games where Ricky Rubio was out and the team started Raul Neto or Dante Exum. That’s eight wins and zero losses in games where Mitchell is called upon to play extended point guard minutes.
