## Resource

The Miami Heat missed out on LeBron James, but they might not need to look far for their new playmaker—Davion Mitchell. Already a defensive force and elite facilitator, Mitchell had a breakout season, averaging 9.3 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.5 steals while posting positive net ratings. His three-point shooting (39.5%) and court vision are poised to grow even more with Giannis Antetokounmpo on the floor. Known for his relentless work ethic—from hiking in Switzerland to training with Giannis in Greece—Mitchell embodies Heat Culture. With room to improve his free-throw shooting and finishing, he’s primed to take the next step and become the playmaker the Heat desperately need.
