HT: 6’3″  WT: 210  WINGSPAN: 6’10”   Age: 20

The Detroit Pistons have been rumored to be shopping the No. 12 pick for some time. Coincidentally, our consensus has Donovan Mitchell — who made a point to work out for the Utah Jazz and raved about their organization — landing at the same pick. Maybe there’s something to be done here.

As a player, Mitchell has crazy length in the backcourt  with a 6-foot-10 wingspan and a standing reach over eight feet. He also posted a no-step vertical leap of nearly 37 inches. That’s some serious hops.
