Remember the proposed swap with Sacramento of the #9 and #22 picks as part of the Kuzma/Hield trade? Davion Mitchell was the player I would have had the Laker pick at #9. It’s not beyond possible that this was a pick made for the Lakers by the Kings. Let’s see whom the Lakers pick at #22.
Mitchell is the best perimeter defender in the draft and shot 45% from three. Could be a future starting point guard for the Lakers and a great backup to Westbrook.
He also tried to history revisionist Steph’s college career. But hurt he beat Gonzaga. SMH.
