Donovan Mitchell

Location: Utah, United States

Two balls could be better than one, but he made his choice. There can't be any regrets, though. This place in Utah, we assume, is big and can accommodate at least one other person. (Image: imgur.com)

This shooting guard from Elmsford, New York, was born on September 7th, 1996. In high school, he played basketball and baseball as well. The player showed slam dunk skills already in high school and made basketball his focus. This youngster got more attention from college basketball recruiters, thanks to his abilities. As a freshman, the player had a slow start at the University of Louisville, but in the seasons that followed, he increased his stats and averages significantly. Drafted by the Denver Nuggets in the 2017 NBA draft as the 13th overall pick in Round 1, he was immediately traded to the Utah Jazz on draft night. During his rookie season, the shooting guard was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team and, as a slam-dunker at heart, won the 2018 Slam Dunk Contest. He is incredibly fast with the ball and has good control over it. He doesn’t hesitate to dunk or score over a significantly higher centre player. This shooting guard set the Utah Jazz scoring record for a rookie and became the first NBA rookie to score 40 points in a game since 2011. The player has a bright future in the NBA.
