Earlier on in the season, when the Cleveland Cavaliers were struggling, Donovan Mitchell was carrying them on his back. If he didn’t, the Cavs would have been much worse off than the 17-16 mark they had at the end of December.
As Cleveland dealt with injuries, inconsistent play from key players at the time, and a hellacious schedule, the one constant was Mitchell. He started off the season on pace to have career-highs in multiple categories and led the league in triples made for a good portion of the year.
He has cooled off slightly since, but Spida has been one of the elite guards in the NBA this year.
