Norman Powell identifies Davion Mitchell as his hardest working teammate

Chicago Bulls guard Norman Powell recently identified teammate Davion Mitchell as the hardest-working player he has encountered during his professional career. Speaking during a livestream interview, Powell compared Mitchell’s dedication to that of Damian Lillard, noting that Mitchell shares a similar, relentless approach to training and game preparation. The two players previously spent time together with the Miami Heat before Powell joined the Bulls earlier this offseason on a two-year, $45 million contract. Beyond basketball, Powell offered a sharp critique of the NFL, citing concerns regarding player health, the lack of guaranteed contracts, and the treatment of athletes. He expressed dissatisfaction with how the football industry manages long-term well-being and contract structures compared to the NBA. Powell credited his own growth from a second-round draft pick to his current standing in the league as a testament to the benefits of the basketball profession.
