DONOVAN MITCHELL (CLE)
#45•D. MITCHELL
G • 6’1, 215 lbs; 8th year, Louisville
TOP DOG
NBA ROLE: (ELITE) EXPLOSIVE, SCORING GUARD
Selected 13th overall in 2017, Donovan Mitchell is a true star in the NBA; though only listed at 6'1, Mitchell's an upper echelon athlete w/ an elite wingspan (6'10)...but it doesn't stop there: on the floor, he has little trouble creating shots for himself, welcomes the unenviable task of stopping star guards; great shake: blends quick crosses w/ standout athleticism – unique scoop shots & explosive finishes as a result; Mitchell can either blow straight by his man or rock back & forth for perimeter Js (great base, pure shooting mechanics); inconsistent but capable defender (has the physical build & length to check bigger players); has gotten much better at handling tremendous defensive pressure as the #1 option: Mitchell's embraced Top DOG status; on a mission to prove his doubters wrong; dealt to Cavs! (2022) - one of the league's best talents (scored 71! points v. CHI), CLE’s radiant future is centered around an extremely skilled young core*: can Mitchell and the Cavs contend in 2025?
*Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen & Isaac Okoro
