With George Hill hitting free agency and Dante Exum still a bit of a question mark, Donovan Mitchell could be Utah’s point guard of the future.
For Denver, Lyles could be a nice piece next to star center Nikola Jokic. Lyles had been unable to get the minutes that he probably deserved in Utah’s logjammed frontcourt.
