Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert Named to All-Star Team
On Tuesday evening, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert were named to the Western Conference All-Star team as reserves. They won't be the only Jazz representatives at the upcoming All-Star game. Since Utah has the best record in the Western Conference (and the NBA for that matter), Jazz head coach Quinn Snyder will coach Team Lebron.
Last week, various Jazz players took to Twitter to make their All-Star pitches for Mike Conley. You can see some of their efforts in the video at the top of this article. Despite their best efforts, Mike Conley did not make the cut. Conley has never been an All-Star during his NBA career.
The Utah Jazz hold the best record in the NBA by 3.5 games - the Clippers and Lakers are tied for second place. Through the first 31 games of the season, Mitchell has averaged 24.5 points per game and 5.2 assists per game. Gobert has anchored one of the best defenses in the NBA, and he has also averaged 13.9 points per game, 13.5 rebounds per game, and 2.8 blockers per game.
The Jazz host the LA Lakers on Wednesday night.
