Donovan Mitchell 'knows he’s a star, but how super is he? Ah. That’s the mystery,' writes Gordon Monson.
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell as the Utah Jazz host the Sacramento Kings, NBA basketball in Salt Lake City on Saturday, March 12, 2022.Before we get started here, understand that this column is not a criticism of Donovan Mitchell.
He, more than any other player here, is the face of his franchise, even as some Jazz fans are afraid that he’ll one day wake up and decide he cannot win enough with the Jazz, that he has to go elsewhere to gain his fame and championships, someplace where the stage is bigger and the lights are brighter, where the gains are more easily gotten.
Back to basketball, in his five seasons with the Jazz, Mitchell has bettered himself nearly every year. He came in as a rookie to an outfit in desperate need of what he could bring it — scoring, charisma and hope — what with its former star jumping ship for Boston. The difficulty for Mitchell is what it is for all great players — finding the right balance in making opponents pay for his brilliance without forcing the matter, without punishing his own team with careless play.
