1. Donovan Mitchell

My goodness, did Donovan Mitchell have a game against Indiana on Saturday or what? He played terrible just a few days ago and to make it even worse, Rick Pitino benched him for this basketball game against the Hoosiers.

Coming off the bench, Mitchell played the best game out of everyone on both squads. He ended the game with 25 points, 1 steal, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds.

To make it even better, he hit four threes against the Hoosiers on Saturday afternoon.

Hopefully, this type of performance will get Donovan Mitchell rolling, as conference play now begins to go into full-swing. The Cardinals need a few guys they can depend on to score, therefore Mitchell needs to be one of those guys every single game.
