The NBA is so much different than the other Big Four Sports in North America as you can’t expect a player to rank in the Top 50 after only playing one season on an established team, but that is the game of basketball, and here we have Donovan Mitchell, who established that he was the heart of Utah’s previous success, and not Rudy Gobert.
The Cavaliers gave up a lot to get Mitchell (Collin Sexton, Lauri Markannen and five 1st Round Picks) and though it is early, Mitchell provided Cleveland with his best year to date, a Second Team All-NBA with a 28.3 PPG. The Shooting Guard went to his fourth All-Star Game, took Cleveland to the playoffs, and is the piece they will build around.
Time will quickly tell how that pans out.
