Donovan Mitchell - Bubble Super Scorer/Primetime Playoff Performer 🕷

Donovan Mitchell. 2020 NBA All-Star. 2018 Slam Dunk Contest Champion. 2018 Rookie of the Year runner-up. THIRD highest single-game points tally in NBA Playoff History. Michael Jordan’s 63 against Boston in 86 and Elgin Baylor’s 61 in 61 (also against Boston) are the only games that rank higher. He also averaged 36.3 points per game on 52.9% from the field, 51.6% (on 9.1 - NINE POINT ONE attempts per game) and 94.8% from the line.
To think that as a freshman at Louisville, he only noticed 7.4 PPG and only started 5 games. His sophomore year, he upped that to 15.6 PPG. Fast forward to Mitchell having just finished his third year in the league averaging OVER 20 points per game. In the freaking NBA.
Watching Donovan dazzle and dance his way to the basket with his dizzying array of stepovers and sidesteps reminds many of Dwyane Wade. Even Dwyane said that Donovan is probably the player today that most resembles his game on the JJ Redick podcast. What’s amazing about Mitchell is that he’s about 3 inches shorter than Wade but he is just as relentless at attack the rack while being a little less reckless.
What impresses me about Donovan is how he’s steadily he has improved every year he’s been in the league. 20.5 - 23.8 - 24.0 are his points per game tallies from each season so far. He also averaging career highs across the board: 24.0 points, as previously mentioned, on 44.9/36.6/86.3 splits with 4.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. According to all-time great website Cleaning the Glass, Donovan ranks in the 95 percentile in usage among combo guards in the league.
His duel with Jamal Murray will go down as one for the ages but here’s a little video about his fantastic finishes in the Bubble seeding games and the playoffs.
If you liked the Dwayne-Donovan comp, I made a video about a year ago:

His shooting is so underrated. He can really shoot the ball. Midrange. 3 ball. And free throws. He has record for most 3s ever in a season by a rookie and most 3s ever in a playoff series too. So underrated only in his 3rd year

[@jaiden8102]

He's going to be a superstar one day if he keeps it up

[@alilazzem777]

my best basketball video creator by far ! very underrated channel ! i hope you'll get more recognition soon great work good sir as Always

[@rcbarnson6488]

Funnest player to watch. He breaks ankles dunks and chucks 3s all game. I would rather have him than Luka on my team.

[@TheNeutronJawn]

What scares me the most is he obviously doesn’t need the ball in his hand to deal damage. Man catch and shoot on the wing plus he’s basically a shot creator. Just nasty 🤮
