Terry Rozier gave his two cents on Utah Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell, who finds himself a game away from leading his team from 10th place in the West to the second round of the postseason.
The Celtics guard has done some heavy lifting of his own, but still has room to admire what has unfolded in front of his TV set during this first round of the playoffs. Like his rookie counterpart, Rozier has also proved a catalyst in the Boston Celtics' two wins, dropping 23 points in each, looking to regain his form as he heads to a Game 5 at home against the Milwaukee Bucks.
“He’s amazing. I love watching him,” Rozier said of Mitchell, according to Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe. “He’s one of my favorite players to watch in the NBA. The stuff he does is just like stuff you work on actually working out in the gym. He applies it in the game, and it’s just good to see his growth.”
Mitchell has already proven to be a 20-plus-point threat in this league, the first to lead his team in scoring and into the playoffs since Carmelo Anthony in 2004.
Yet his skill set continues to grow after every game, doing something different to affect the game — whether it's 11 rebounds in Game 3 or a career-high 33 points in Game 4 on Monday, which gave his team a 3-1 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the series.
Mitchell has elevated his game in the last four games, putting up 25.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game.
