To the Harkonnens, the Fremen were vermin. Desert rats, they called them. Their culture wasn't worth understanding, their numbers not even worth counting. They were tolerated when they weren't causing trouble and exterminated when they were. But to Paul Atreides, the Fremen were the greatest fighters the universe could offer.
The Sacramento Kings this past summer were in a financial crunch. They didn't want to pay Sasha Vezenkov or Davion Mitchell, so they decided to pay the Toronto Raptors a (very) valuable second-round pick in order to take on their contracts.
The Raptors, on the other hand, desperately needed a backup guard. Entering the season, Immanuel Quickley was still learning how to run his own team. Jamal Shead was drafted in the second round and perhaps not ready to run an NBA offence.
Then Quickley bruised his pelvis, and sprained his elbow, and the Raptors haven't just needed Mitchell to fill a role. They've needed him to be something he hasn't been since his two years at Baylor.
