D'Angelo Russell sees breakout potential for Davion Mitchell with Heat

D'Angelo Russell praised Davion Mitchell's potential for the upcoming 2026-27 NBA season with the Miami Heat. Following a roster overhaul, Mitchell is expected to step up after Tyler Herro’s trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Having averaged 9.3 points and 6.5 assists last season while starting 70 games, Mitchell is set to take on a larger role as the starting point guard. Russell's compliments highlight Mitchell's defensive skills and improvement, signaling that he might have a significant impact in Miami's pursuit of a championship.
