12. San Antonio Spurs – Davion Mitchell, G, Baylor

The San Antonio Spurs are coming off an interesting season but are also approaching a fork in the road. They have to go through a retooling process and that will likely begin this offseason. I’m not sure any one player on their roster is untouchable and we could be in for an interesting offseason in San Antonio.

With the expectation that DeMar DeRozan will likely move on this offseason, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Spurs looked to find his replacement in the draft. One potential fit late in the lottery is Davion Mitchell.

Mitchell has the potential to be a solid two-way player in the league and under the tutelage of Gregg Popovich, he should be in a great place where he could really blossom as a player in the NBA.
