Davion is a lot more comfortable playing SG. He looks a lot better as a secondary ball handler playing off of Fox. Fox is so good at navigating those double teams and Mitchell looks great spotting up.

It's a tired comparison but the Donovan Mitchell comps are not bad. Can handle the ball but much better with a primary ball handler next to him.
After doing a little work after we drafted him, I thought this was the clear case as he develops his playmaking. Take the best guard, provide secondary ball-handling/playmaking off 2 really good lead playmakers in Fox/Hali. Really is a glove fit, especially if the shooting keeps looking this good.
He just doesn't look like he has a weakness outside of being a bit limited as a creator for others right now. His scoring creation/shooting/defense looks to be top notch

his push shot used to be automatic. maybe he getting all the misses out of the way in preseason

He's solid all around. The only thing that hinders him long term as far as potential is you're seeing when teams take away his hesi move it's hard for him to get past pressure. Good call to have him playing off the ball and prepped to shoot. If they let him play off of the Kings go to guy he'll get easy shots all night.

The Kings would be up by twenty if anyone other than Davion or Terence Davis was capable of hitting a shot.

Davis Mitchell with 30 of our 55 points on 11/16 shooting

He's playing a great role players game so far. On defense he's struggled with screens, but he's playing under now which is helping. Offensively he's getting wide open shots just simply spotting up. He's not forcing anything which is the advantage you get drafting older players I guess.

Ever since preseason started it looks like Holmes is trying to get those push shot looks from other areas. It's not currently working haha. Yeah, Holmes simply struggles against the big skilled monster types.

I want to see less Harkless and more of this guard stuff we were sold. As is, they are going to regret not upgrading the SF spot if this is how Walton runs things.
? We've seen a ton of TD/Ramsey at the 3 for a good portion of the half.

Not really. Harkless and Barnes are on pace to play 32 minutes. This is a game where they are playing mostly two bigs, you would expect way more attention to getting players like Davis (only 11 minutes in the first half) time. So far this preseason we've mostly seen two bigs and traditional small ball. That is not being the guard team they need to be once the rotation shrinks to a manageable degree. He's even managed to play 4 bigs on a shortened roster.

It seemed like it happened over one off-season a couple years ago. Very strange.
we all knew once he got a raise the expectations were going to go up.
well apparently he didn't get the memo to get the hair transplants done during the lockdown.

Before that dunk, he had 1 pt and 1 rb in 17 minutes.
