3 years agoWith the No. 9 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings have selected Baylor guard Davion Mitchell. The 22-year-old is a bit of a risk because of his age, but he was incredibly productive for the Bears last year, averaging 14.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. Arguably the best defensive player in this draft class, Mitchell's a quick guard who can force offensive players into tough shots and can poke away steals. He also shot 44.7 percent from three last year, showing some huge improvement from deep across his college career. Assuming that wasn't just a one-year mirage, Mitchell should be able to stick in the NBA. But the Kings already have De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton at guard, so Mitchell might wind up coming off the bench for the foreseeable future in Sacramento, limiting his fantasy upside.--Justin Carter - RotoBaller
