If Donovan Mitchell wants to for sure be Rookie of the Year, he has to average 20 points per game. The voters simply cannot deny ROY honors to a man scoring that many points. They just cannot. No matter how many assists/rebounds some other rookie is averaging. The Jazz commentators are obsessed with how many…

Donovan Mitchell 40 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
Donovan Mitchell does it again. That’s two 40-burgers on the season for him now, compared to zero for all the rest of the rookies. He has over half of the top 15 rookie scoring performances, if that first stat wasn’t good enough for you. You want more? I can find more. How about this: he’s…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 26 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2018)
That’s it. I’ve run out of stuff to say about Donovan Mitchell, here in the 23rd highlight video I’ve done for him this season. All avenues of inquiry/analysis/discussion have been traversed and followed to their conclusion. The only thing left to talk about is what he actually did in this game; theoretically, this 26-point highlight…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2018)
If Donovan Mitchell really, REALLY wants to win the ROY award, he has to start having more assist-y nights like this one. He might win it anyway, because he’s such a highlightable player, but it’s easy to look at his super-duper high amount of shots attempted versus his assists as a short-ish shooting guard and…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 34 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/17/2018)
I thought I would be granted a respite after Donovan Mitchell put up enough 20-point games to surpass rookie Karl Malone in that category for the Jazz. I thought wrong. Not only are they still mentioning how many 20-pointers he has, but they’ve started talking about how many 30-point games he needs to be the…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 23 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
At last! With his 19th 20-point game of his rookie season, Donovan Mitchell has finally passed Karl Malone in the ridiculously arbitrary and completely un-notable “most 20-point games for a Jazz rookie” category. Now the Jazz commentators can finally stop talking about it! Like we even needed some BS “record” to tell us how good…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 35 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2018)
Okay, we’re for really real right now: Donovan Mitchell could be ROTY of the Year. No jokes, no sarcasm. I’m watching Ben Simmons highlights right now, and they’re great, but where are the jumpers? They’re not there. Contrast that with this Mitchell highlight package. Before tonight, before this 35 points, there were still some people…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 27 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2018)
27 points on 25 shots for Donovan “Prince of ‘hell” Mitchell. Purists may chafe at the the inefficiency, but I figure if your point total is more than your shots total, you’re all good. Especially if you played before the three-point line was introduced. That’s not Mitchell, but it’s still all good. All good except…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 29 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (12/30/2017)
It took me until the Jazz TV dudes showed the list of Jazz rookies with the most 20 point games, but Donovan Mitchell’s game totally reminds me of Darrell Griffith A.K.A. Dr. Dunkenstein A.K.A. The Golden Griff. I even made some vintage highlights of that dude scoring 40 and totally outplaying Michael Jordan (sound familiar?),…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 29 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)
I’m trying to figure out what Russell Westbrook meant when he told Donovan Mitchell “Don’t stop” repeatedly as they met a center court after the final buzzer. “Don’t stop”. Like chucking shots? Don’t stop chucking shots? That’s got to be it. Westbrook knows as well as anyone the heights to which you can ascend if…
