It is been a busy offseason already for Utah, as they have replaced former head coach Quin Snyder with Will Hardy, traded superstar center Rudy Gobert in a mammoth deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves and traded starter Royce O'Neale to the Brooklyn Nets, among other moves.
Mitchell finished the 2021-22 regular season by averaging 25.9 points, a career-high 5.3 assists, 4.2 rebounds and a career-high 1.5 steals, while posting a .448/.355/.853 shooting line in his third straight All-Star campaign.
