Davion Mitchell proves why Erik Spoelstra is the best coach in the NBA

Davion Mitchell's numbers don't always jump off the stat sheet, but he's the perfect example of why Erik Spoelstra should be considered the best coach in the NBA. Spo perfectly utilizes a player's strengths and weaknesses, unlike many other coaches in the league, and Mitchell's career year this season is just another clear example of this.

Spo holds players to standards and challenges them every night. He has the unique ability to take a player who has struggled in the past and build a system to fit what they can do best. Spo has made a living doing this in Miami, and Mitchell is the latest player to see the dividends of trusting (and buying into) the Heat's coaching staff.
