Donovan Mitchell

Do I really even need to go into this one? Donovan Mitchell has exceeded expectations in every way and is already a star that just so happens to be on a remarkably affordable rookie contract. Talk about a bargain.

Mitchell has the potential to be one of the league’s best players in the very near future. His rookie season was phenomenal, but it was likely just the tip of the iceberg. There’s no way the Jazz are going to move him. Plan on him being the face of the franchise for years to come.

Verdict: Untouchable, absolutely untouchable
