The all-time Utah Jazz scoring list has never seen a quicker early climber.

As a 2017 lottery pick who has since led the Utah Jazz in scoring every season he’s been in the league, Donovan Mitchell required only 262 games to surpass 6,000 points for his career.

That’s the least amount of games to do so in franchise history. Previously, Karl Malone, whose 36,928 points still sit No. 2 in NBA history, held that Jazz record at 271 games.
