These aren’t heady days for the Mets, but for the club’s director of player relations Donovan Mitchell, they are exciting, nerve-wracking times.
Donovan Mitchell Jr., his son, has risen on the Knicks’ radar and is being considered for the eighth pick in the draft. According to sources, Mitchell, a Louisville combo guard, has a workout planned with the Knicks in Tarrytown this week.
Knicks president Phil Jackson flew last weekend to Los Angeles for Creative Artist Agency’s pro day to watch Mitchell, among others, work out. Kentucky point guard De’Aaron Fox also was in attendance, but he’s not expected to last beyond the fifth pick.
