MBB: Auburn Transfer Davion Mitchell Commits to Baylor
Scott Drew landed a transfer at a need position in Davion Mitchell from Auburn. The 6-1 200 lb guard was a top 70 recruit coming out of high school. He averaged 4 points per game and 2 assists in 17 minutes per contest.
He is a tough, physical guard with tremendous bounce and quickness. He holds a reputation for being one of the best lockdown defenders around.
Mitchell shot 43% from the field; 29% from 3 and 68% from the free throw line on a smaller sample size as a freshman. His assist to turnover ratio was 1.7.
He was 59% from the field and 43% from 3 as a senior in high school. He led his team to a state championship as a junior. His numbers against the top Nike teams in the EYBL were also impressive where he aveaged 15 ppg and shot 36% from 3.
Mitchell will sit out the 2018-19 season as a transfer and will then have 3 years of eligibility left for Baylor. He will be a major piece of Baylor's future squads.
I have an interview scheduled with him tomorrow for more insight into why he chose Baylor.
