0:00 Fronte: Mitchell’s stats and his ability to lead Utah on recent winning streak put him ahead of Simmons
1:05 Mando: “Simmons has the best numbers overall — over 16 points, 4th in the NBA in assists, close to 8 rebounds per game…he’s also first among top rookies in Player Efficiency Rating.”
3:30 Mando: “Jayson Tatum might be the most valuable rookie, though. He has the best on/off court splits on the Celtics…and if you put him on the Utah Jazz, I’d bet he’d average close to 20 points per game like Mitchell is now, too.”
