Davion Mitchell

In an NBA ripe with bucket-getters and nifty ballhandlers, having a player like Davion Mitchell becomes a requirement. Highly esteemed for his tireless ambition on defense, Mitchell adds to the running highlight reel, turning on the jets to hunt down an unassuming Portland Trail Blazers dribbler, cutting off his fastbreak attempt entirely. Discontent with just one incredible showing of hustle, Mitchell takes it a step further, knocking the ball off of his opponent, forcing a turnover in the process. With his green light a little brighter with the Sacramento Kings missing their All-Star guard, Mitchell took full advantage, pouring in 16 points on just nine shots, paired with four assists and three 3-pointers to help inspire the narrow victory on November 8, 2023.
