HOW HE OPERATES

Louisville’s Donovan Mitchell is one of the best pure athletes in the draft. He’s fast up-and-down the court, has a quick first step and is arguably the best leaper of any prospect. His 36.5-inch no step vertical leap was the highest of any player at the NBA Combine. His max vertical of 40.5 inches tied for fifth-best at the combine. And he’s got a gargantuan wingspan of 6-10, which helped him lead the ACC in steals.
