Donovan Mitchell, of the Utah Jazz, walks under the pedestrian bridge spanning 100 south, at The Gateway in Salt Lake City, as he arrives at event where the bridge was named after him on Tuesday, March 26, 2019.

Donovan Mitchell doesn't need the bright lights of New York City or Los Angeles. In fact, he's perfectly content in small-market Salt Lake City.

In a wide-ranging Q&A with Michael Scotto of The Athletic, Donovan Mitchell touched on the subject of playing in a small market and recruiting free agents.

"I don’t think you have to have a big market to win a championship," Mitchell said.
