Watched it. An awesome moment for Davion, a Baylor Legend.

Awesome! Great to see. The Kings are a really fun team to watch.

Kings are going to win a title within 3 years. That's a salty team. Davions carving a nice role on one of the more talented rosters in the league.

I'm guessing he's getting a lot of floor time to try an slow down the guards just a little. 1st game he seemed to be in the floor with Fox quite a bit. Played 28 minutes last night, so I'm assuming the same. Awesome that he's playing and performing in prime time situations

Having Davion and Monk coming off the bench is such a gift no matter how inexperienced they are in the playoffs.

3 and D guy that my Mavericks sure could use .

Steph Curry was clearly frustrated by Davion. He was throwing up desperation shots that didn't even hit the rim toward the end.

He should be a starting PG somewhere. That performance last night probably made him millions.

Did you see the loose ball where Davion grabbed it and went for the dunk? Curry looked exhausted. Mentally and physically

He played great and I do agree his main role is to make life difficult for SC. The scoring, steals and the such is a bonus for the team. In addition to giving SC an "off night" he made him become more of a distributor (and less of a scorer).

"I go against [Davion Mitchell] every day in practice," Fox said yesterday. "That's why ya'll see me do what I do out here because I'm not going against Davion out here."

I'd be curious to see his plus/minus. I watched most of Game 2, and it seemed like GS would make a run every time he went to the bench. His defense changed the game. His size may keep him out of the starting line up, but if he improves his shooting a bit, it will be hard to keep him on the bench.

Former #Baylor national champion Davion Mitchell is chasing another title, this time in the NBA with the #Sacramento Kings. He's drawn the toughest assignment of stopping Steph Curry. #SicEm #LightTheBeam
