Davion Mitchell and The Heat got along really well
He might be the best rookie of the year Miami. Arriving from Toronto in February as part of a five-team trade involving Jimmy Butler and Andrew Wiggins, Davion Mitchell he quickly established himself in Florida.
So much so that today it is the undisputed holder in the eyesErik Spoelstraabove all, the conductor of one of the best attacks in the country.
« It really helps us with what we’re trying to do. » rejoices the coach from Heat. « He understands things, quickly, and can apply them just as quickly. He is someone who is incredibly fast and really wants to serve his teammates. He feels the game, the momentum of the match and has that intuition that the greatest playmakers have, when it comes to offering open shots to open the gap. »
Impressive cleanliness with the ball in hand
Erik Spoelstra especially appreciates Davion Mitchell’s cleanliness with the ball: 7.8 assists for just 1.5 turnovers, the third best assist-to-turnover ratio (5.1) in the entire league!
« I try not to think too much about it because the more we think about not losing the ball, the more we will lose it. So I’m just going out there, trying to draw defenders and my teammates are doing a good job of getting through ».
Coming off the best season of his career, Davion Mitchell has become more than just a very good defender since arriving in Miami. Advances in recording and creation, in addition to staying true” pit bull » on defense, he’s perfect for launching Florida’s system.
« I think his style of play suits him perfectly » confirms Norman Powellone of those who benefit most from their caviar. ” He can increase the tempo, attack, and we have scorers and creators around him. He just distributes the ball, but he’s also able to take things that come his way on offense. Then he reads the game really well, goes crazy when he loses the ball. So I think that helps quite a bit as well. »
The rebirth of the former Top 10
« Actually, I play naturally » explains Davion Mitchell. ” When I got here, I did some thinking. Obviously I was trying to do what I was already doing defensively, but I was still looking for what I could bring to this team offensively. Now it’s like I’m not even thinking on the field. I’m just here to create things and play freely. »
The one we knew as “Off-Night” now has nothing to do with a player who lacked (too much) confidence in Sacramento than he did in Toronto. A revival of sorts for the 9th pick of the 2021 Draft, since “ everything is easy » for him, also a favorite of this famous “Heat Culture” that sticks.
« Even in difficult times, I think I still learn a lot in this team » he enjoys. ” My teammates help me, we always talk. If something is wrong, we talk about it and make changes accordingly, doing our best. That’s the good thing about this team. We talk together and can hold each other accountable. »
