NBA Rookie Donovan Mitchell Has an Early Dunk of the Year Candidate

wait for the slow motion replay

Last week, Donovan Mitchell introduced himself to the Utah Jazz fans, scoring 19-points against the Los Angeles Clippers. However, the rest of the general NBA world got to meet the soon-to-be breakout star Saturday evening, when the Jazz faced the Los Angeles Lakers.

While all eyes were obviously on Lonzo Ball, Mitchell made sure to make an impression on the masses watching. Before the end of the third quarter, when LA was making their run; Donovan took the air out the arena, when he soared over three Lakers for an insane put-back dunk.

On top of that early-of-the-year dunk candidate (we know it’s only October), he finished the game with 22-points. If you’ve never seen Donovan Mitchell play, he’s like a miniature version of Russell Westbrook, as you can take a look at highlights from his performance below.
