Although the Utah Jazz are just 2-3 in their last five games, guard Donovan Mitchell has been excellent offensively, averaging 31 points a game on 48.6 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from three.
Those numbers are comfortably above his season’s averages. The most important improved stat, however, comes from the free throw line, where he’s shot an average of 7.6 a game over the last five outings.
When Donovan Mitchell is playing his best basketball, he’s using his speed to beat his defender (which he can do either one-on-one or with help from a screen) and utilizing his ability to maneuver in the paint to score, or at least get fouled.
