Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell are headed to Chicago to represent the Utah Jazz in the All-Star game. Here’s some of their best moments from this season.
The All-Star break is here for the Utah Jazz, and they have to feel fantastic with where they are currently at.
With 36 wins, the Jazz have their most victories going into an All-Star break in franchise history. They have two All-Stars who will represent them in Chicago and are trending towards having home court advantage in the NBA Playoffs.
For the Jazz, it all starts with Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell; two first time All-Stars who have an incredible impact on the success of this team.
Both Gobert and Mitchell are extremely deserving of the All-Star nod. Gobert has anchored Utah’s offense and defense, averaging 15.6 points, 14.5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks. Mitchell has become more efficient for the Jazz, averaging 24.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists with a true shooting percentage of 56.

The last All-Star that the Jazz had was Gordon Hayward in 2017. They haven’t had two All-Stars on the same team in over a decade, when Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur made the team in 2007.
It was important that both Gobert and Mitchell made key strides over the summer, which they have, and it’s also important that both Gobert and Mitchell got the recognition from the league that they deserve, which they have.
During the course of Gobert’s seven-year career and Mitchell’s three-year career, Utah Jazz fans have been blessed with countless memories, highlights and more. That’s been especially true this season.
