When Donovan Mitchell entered the NBA, I knew Chris Paul was a big fan of his. I always thought he played a bit on the kind/nice side, but undoubtedly, Mitchell is highly skilled. Donovan Mitchell finds himself on one of the best teams in the NBA this year (2024-25) thanks to the emergence of Evan Mobley and the overall good health of all major minute-getters on the Cavs team this year, which includes their other big man, Jarrett Allen, and star point guard Darius Garland. If Mitchell is as good or better than either Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum, I see the Cavs winning that matchup if we get to see it in the playoffs. Mitchell is the difference maker in the series and the general difference maker on this Cavs team. What stands out about Mitchell on paper is his unusually long wingspan which helps him play taller than he is. 3/2/2025

Fun Facts

  • Chris Paul referred to Donovan Mitchell as “my boy” during an interview when Mitchell was a rookie. So Mitchell may have been good friends and perhaps mentored by CP3.
