Davion Mitchell went from a nobody on NBA Draft boards to an absolute lottery lock within the span of a few months. He tore up the competition in the NCAA Tournament and immediately began flying up into the mainstream of NBA Draft chatter. In fact, he might be a reach for the New York Knicks even if they trade up into the lottery.
Mitchell’s defense is his calling card, but his overall improvement on offense has helped spur his recent rise. The 22-year-old took home three national Defensive Player of the Year awards during his junior season in college.
