Davion Mitchell relying on unmatched work ethic to make statement with Kings

LAS VEGAS — It was the day the Sacramento Kings had their first practice session with their summer league squad in preparation for the Kings’ two-day California Classic followed by the games in Las Vegas.

It was also the day the franchise found out about rookie point guard Davion Mitchell, who they selected at No. 9 out of Baylor in last month’s NBA draft.

The practice was scheduled for late in the afternoon, and the latter portion would feature a scrimmage. Players, largely, were in great shape, including Mitchell, who won a national championship in college.
