Donovan Mitchell has steadily garnered more and more attention through the early stages of the NBA Draft process, but what kind of player will he be as a pro?
Who is Donovan Mitchell?
Donovan Mitchell is a 6’3″ sophomore guard out of Louisville who has demonstrated a very well-rounded skill-set during his two years in college.
After relatively limited exposure as a freshman, Mitchell took on a much greater role for Rick Pitino’s team this season and put together an accolade-worthy season in response.
Mitchell finished his sophomore campaign named to the All-ACC First Team and All-Defensive Team, while also receiving votes for the conference’s Player of the Year, and Most Improved Player.
