Donovan Mitchell · In persevering his way through a season in which his resilience has been tested and his body has been banged up, it was only fitting that Donovan Mitchell produced one of the 2023-24’s season’s most brilliant passes without even needing his eyes. Leading by 20, and already on the way to a memorable scoring performance, the five-time All-Star picks a most creative way to get his teammate involved, speeding through the lane with a quick gather step before wrapping a perfectly-angled no-look around a defender’s back to set up a teammate for a 3-pointer. Having little issue ramping up his play against a like-minded Eastern Conference contender, Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers were exceptional in a wire-to-wire, 40-point win on January 17, 2024. A star on the night, Mitchell exploded for 31 points (on just 19 shots), five rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and four 3-pointers. · State of Mint
