After participating in the FIBA World Cup with Team USA, Donovan Mitchell has verbally committed early to playing for Team USA in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, according to KSL. After some issues with players withdrawing from the team at the last moment, this early commitment will increase the likelihood that those decision-makers—who got to observe Donovan’s loyalty and leadership firsthand this summer—will extend an invite his way.
Over 8 games, Donovan was a leader of Team USA, averaging 13.1 points, 5.0 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game. He led the team in +/- with +12, and shot an impressive 40.
