Undefeated Feature on Davion:
Kings rookie Davion Mitchell credits the most boring city in Georgia for getting him to the NBA
“When I got drafted, everybody was going crazy in Hinesville,” Mitchell told The Undefeated. “It was an amazing, amazing feeling here. The city is behind your back. But the city did a lot for me.”
About 2,700 miles away, Mitchell and the Kings won the Vegas Summer League championship on Tuesday by routing the Boston Celtics 100-67. Hinesville will always be in his heart, nurturing the basketball talent that eventually got him to the NBA.
Mitchell built a strong reputation for his perimeter defense at Baylor University, garnering the 2021 Naismith and National Association of Basketball Coaches defensive player of the year awards. He said his tough defense was the main reason the adults wanted him to play with them on Court 1 as a preteen.
“If you do things like defend the best player and you make it hard for him, you get to stay on the court,” Mitchell said. “And I always wanted to stay on the court. I always wanted to play with the older guys. I felt like I was getting better playing with them. Even though I wasn’t the best one out there at the time, I still got better guarding the best players. That’s what I love to do. I’m a guy who’s competitive.”
Mitchell also began believing that making it to the NBA was possible after seeing McRae do it.
McRae starred at Liberty County High School in Hinesville, but it took playing in the AAU for the Atlanta Celtics to truly get noticed. He was named to the 2010 McDonald’s All American Game and went on to star at the University of Tennessee. The 6-foot-5 swingman was drafted 58th overall in the second round of the 2014 NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs, but began his professional career playing in Australia and the NBA G League. McRae made his NBA debut with the Phoenix Suns on Jan. 29, 2016, to become the first NBA player from Hinesville. He was signed later that season by the Cleveland Cavaliers and wound up winning an NBA title. He has played in 123 total games throughout his career with the Suns, Cavaliers, Washington Wizards, Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons.
After playing a season at Auburn, the 6-foot, 205-pound guard transferred to Baylor in 2019. Mitchell had 15 points, six rebounds and five assists to help Baylor capture its first men’s national title with an 86-70 win over undefeated Gonzaga. The first-team All-Big 12 selection also won the conference’s defensive player of the year award. And the 22-year-old is one semester away from earning his college degree in kinesiology at Baylor.
Once Mitchell returned back to Hinesville after becoming a national champion, he was given a key to the city, a parade and his high school jersey was retired on April 15. The parade included a motorcade that transported Mitchell to his old high school’s football stadium, where masks and social distancing were enforced and the locals paid homage during a ceremony.
“A win for Davion Mitchell is a win for Hinesville,” Mayor Allen Brown told The Undefeated. “He is our local, homegrown hero. Davion is a product of the Liberty County Recreation and Liberty County High School programs. Throughout his basketball career, he has inspired our community and the entire nation. We celebrate Davion’s accomplishments as a person, a basketball player and as a leader.
Mitchell was a winner in high school and college and led the Kings to the 2021 NBA summer league championship game. Meanwhile, the Kings have not been to the NBA playoffs since 2006. But considering that the undersized, defensive-minded Mitchell always has believed that he has had to prove himself, he believes going to Sacramento is a great fit for him. - Sport
I think its so funny how davion playing style is so similar to Donavan Mitchell 😅
more like kemba
Davion=Kemba has Great Defense
Not really. They have a similar step back and handles but other than that it’s the last name. This guy above mentioned kemba which is a better comparison. Except Mitchell’s defense is way better than Kemba. Hell, it’s better than 99% of the players in the league.
More like Kyle Lowry
True but Davion is a better defender.
Ehh from what I've seen he reminds me of jrue holiday
League is not ready for how dangerous Fox-Mitchell-Haliburton are about to become
You think Fox-Mitchell-Halliburton is bad
imagine
Simmons-Mitchell-Haliburton
@@alphatrusbensiii8381 Fox is better than Simmons, end of discussion.
@@yazibrahim8861 😅 no. Simmons is taking the Kings to the playoffs if they trade Hield & Fox for Simmons & Maxey
Simmons surrounded by Mitchell , Haliburton, Barnes & Bagley is playoffs
@@alphatrusbensiii8381 good thing Kings GM isn’t brain dead, that trade would never happen. Fox has gotten better every single year, Ben has looked the same since LSU. No thanks.
@@yazibrahim8861 he’s also been in the wrong system for his talents for his whole career & still managed to be a 3x all star
Damn. 8, 7, and 6 messed up by not getting this future all star.
Warriors screwed up the most. Magic already drafted Suggs and have Cole anthony so no need to get Mitchell. Okc got giddey which, you could make the case, they could’ve drafted Davion but no one saw this coming really. We all knew he was a great defensive player but we didn’t know how quickly his game would progress. Warriors should’ve taken Mitchell. They messed up 2 years in a row by not getting ball and now Mitchell. Kuminga may be good someday but Davion is the most polished prospect from this class. He’s NBA ready now. First Haliburton, now Mitchell. McNair is the man!
Dame Lillard mixed with Tony Allen
Buddy bout to lose his job lol
The Kings should trade Fox and go with a 3-guard lineup of Haliburton/Mitchell/Hield. Fox has trade value and you can get a solid young piece back. I'm not a Kings fan at all, but I'm bullish bigtime on Haliburton and Mitchell. Mitchell is relentless and ready to go day one. Haliburton will be an elite NBA PG.
They'd work great together in the backcourt splitting time at PG. Haliburton runs the point for most of the game but Mitchell takes over late in the 2nd quarter and midway through the 4th. He's an elite playmaker in halfcourt sets and clutch situations. Hield is still a great 3-point shooter and serves as a perfect decoy.
Fox puts up a ton of points and assists but his style will only hinder the other guards around him. If they try to play Fox with Halliburton and Mitchell together, the chemistry won't mix.
@@randomtees I can tell you dont watch kings games lol. Heild has NO defense and everyone gets a career high on him lol
@@randomtees I don’t understand people who are advocates to trade a player of fox’s caliber, who’s only 23 btw & just averaged 25/7. Heild should be gone, not fox. This is why I want the kings to get a solid PF player and Ben Simmons is just that. If you move Simmons to the PF position you can play fox, Haliburton & Mitchell on the court without sacrificing a lot in terms of size.
@@topshotkyy9777 yea he is a good player but they not winning with him! So trade him while his value is still high
This motivate me, he so cold. I gotta get better . Salute
From day to day man
Bro is Jimmy Butler 2.0 always hustling
Reminds me of Donovan/Kemba, with a little I.T.
That actually plays defense
The music must have inspired me. Remix. "Do as von might, in torrent cast head, elbows, lynx lighting on the court. It’s like blood in the water to a shark, step back, attack. Dangerous too in the paint, he stops, pops. Hit it. A more physical and aggressive approach, in this game (which game?) His game, his team. Blood in the water, not afraid to put it up. Tough step back, great possession by the King. Stare down three. Hit it."
Plays like Kemba Walker on O and Marcus Smart on D
This is so awsome
Put this dude at center 😂
YEAAAA DAAAAAY
Man how i wished raptors could trade for him.
Your wish came true bro
@@victorkrstic4772 glad this aged well ❤️🩹
When he pushes with his fore arm/ body isn't that a defensive foul?
Ya if you soft af.
Davion Mitchell and Alex Antetokounmpo could become something dangerous not to mention Bagley, Fox and Haliburton 🤔🤔
Would take him over Jalen Green and Evan Mobley
Evan Mobley but not Jalen Green. Jalen Green is a can’t miss pick. I actually thought he should’ve gone first.
@@topshotkyy9777 nah I’d get davion I see jalen being like demar but with a three point shot but still no d
@@3pointboys52 ur specifically looking at defensive. Jalen does EVERYTHING else better
@@448DamonXX jalen doesn’t do everything else better. Jalen green isn’t a better shooter. He’s more athletic and explosive but Davion is on another world when it comes to defense. He’s probably the best defensive guard I’ve ever seen.
@@topshotkyy9777 lmao. I can’t take u serious u just said he’s better at defense than jordan
Unfortunately he'll get called a lot against professional floppers because of all that hand movement . He's amazing tho
He may need to adjust a little bit but he will be fine. His agility is so elite!
