Top 20 Playoff Performances of 2018

20. Donovan Mitchell

Donovan Mitchell was already a star when it came time to play in the postseason, as a Rookie of the Year candidate and the Jazz’ leading scorer.

But being a star in the regular season and showing that you can win a playoff series are two completely different things.

Mitchell’s first playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder proved that this kid has what it takes to be the best player on a championship team.

Mitchell averaged 26.8 points per game, including 38 points in a series-clinching Game 6 performance. The Jazz ultimately lost in the second round, but they at least know that their franchise player is not afraid of the big moments.
