Dude was deemed bad enough on offense not to play in the two most important games of the season. Im not giving him away but if they get an intriguing offer, good riddance.
It’s called “player development”. Steve Nash took 4+ years to make a splash and he could really shoot the rock. And the team that drafted him gave up too soon before re-acquiring him years later. It wasn’t until his 3rd season in DAL where he really started to take off.
We all know that Davion Mitchell is no Steve Nash. But if it could take the future 2x MVP that long to develop and hit his stride, why should you or anybody be to eager to consider Mitchell a finished product?
Caleb Martin just played a pivotal role helping Miami reach the NBA Finals, and he’s a developing talent already in his 4th season. Davion only completed his 2nd season.
Point is, have some patience and let the dude develop. The KINGS seem to finally have a front office capable of identifying talent and a coaching staff capable of developing that talent. And Davion has shown to be a player that works hard and is driven to improve.
Look at the jump Swipa made this past season. If Davion can make even half a stride toward that jump in the next year or a two, he might just become a valuable 2-way player.
