"It took several years for Mitchell to establish himself as something more than a situational stopper, but everything started to click last season-first as Toronto's fill-in starting point guard, and then as a critical part of Miami's playoff push, His handle was finally tight enough to actually run the point, and a surge in playmaking followed. Mitchell's jumper, which had long held him back, cashed during his time with the Heat at an incredible"
"Miami completed the five-team deal ahead of the deadline, and while Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins was the headliner, guard Davion Mitchell was the most impactful over the second-half of the season. Mitchell put up career numbers, averaging 10.3 points, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals on 44.7 percent shooting from 3-point range on 3.1 attempts per game."
"Davion Mitchell was expected to receive a big payday this summer - upwards of the non-taxpayer mid-level exception, worth roughly $14 million. His agency inked a two-year, $24 million deal with Miami days before free agency - a move I said was reasonable for both sides at the time. However, given Tyler Herro's foot surgery, Mitchell's deal has the potential to become one of the more valuable ones made this summer if he's able to replicate, say, 80-90 percent of his 30-game production from last year."
Jimmy Butler parted ways with the Miami Heat and was eventually traded, with Golden State signing him to a two-year maximum contract. In the multi-team trade, Davion Mitchell emerged as Miami's most impactful player during the second half of the season. Mitchell averaged 10.3 points, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 44.7 percent from three on 3.1 attempts per game. Miami re-signed Mitchell to a two-year, $24 million deal after his rookie contract year. Expectations for a larger payday existed, and Tyler Herro's foot surgery increases Mitchell's potential value if he sustains recent production.
