Mitchell takes the reigns by the end of November

“My bold prediction for the upcoming Jazz season is that Donovan Mitchell breaks into the starting lineup by November.

Mitchell could add some lacking firepower in the starting unit. He will also get used to playing with the starters from an experience standpoint. The move would allow Joe Ingles to play a more natural and suitable role off the bench as well.”
