"Davion Mitchell has been the perfect player for the Miami Heat's new and improved offense, and the overlooked trade for him at last year's NBA Trade Deadline just continues to look better and better. Through the first seven games of the season, Mitchell is averaging nine points, seven assists, and three rebounds per game on 44 percent shooting from the field and 35 percent from 3-point range. Perhaps equally as important, Mitchell has given the Heat that point of attack defender that they've long desired to control the top of their defense."
"Technically speaking, Mitchell was acquired by the Heat from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for P.J. Tucker, a second-round pick, and cash at the 2025 NBA Trade Deadline. However, Tucker was acquired by the Heat as part of the Jimmy Butler three-team deal from the LA Clippers. Looking back, it's easy to lump the move for Mitchell in that original Jimmy trade. Either way, no matter how you categorize it, this is a move that continues to look like more and more of a win for the Heat."
Davion Mitchell is averaging nine points, seven assists, and three rebounds through seven games while shooting 44 percent overall and 35 percent from three. He provides Miami with a point-of-attack defender who strengthens the top of the defense and contributes enhanced playmaking and efficiency. Mitchell was acquired from the Toronto Raptors for P.J. Tucker, a second-round pick, and cash at the 2025 trade deadline after Tucker’s involvement in the Jimmy Butler three-team deal. Mitchell’s consistent two-way play and a new contract extension make him likely to retain a starting role as the Heat get healthier.
