Donovan Mitchell

“Dallas is slated to meet the soon-to-be-rookie forward soon. Mitchell is an extremely talented defender but has not garnered all that much attention in large part due to his raw skill set. Dallas however should not be afraid of a raw player in this draft. Still several years away from true contention, Dallas should be looking to amass as much potential as possible and add as much athleticism and defense as possible.” –Evan Siegel

“The combine arguably helped Mitchell the most as his 6’11” wingspan and over 40 inch vertical made waves around the league. He is a combo guard, similar to Malik Monk, that could play point guard at the next level. He has a high character and comes from a solid program at Louisville. He would be my sleeper pick for Dallas.” –Isaac Harris
