Mitchell is all of a sudden a player expected to go in the top seven or eight in the draft. This is where Washington could be picking and looking for their next franchise point guard.
Russell Westbrook is putting up great individual numbers but he does not fit into the future plan for the Wizards. Westbrook needs to be sent to a contender where he belongs.

Davion Mitchell might be the best on-ball defender in the draft. He showed his passing ability during the tournament run for the Bears. Mitchell can also create his own show in the midrange or get to the basket. He is an NBA-ready player and could be a starting point guard right away.
