Davion Mitchell

It's rare to see a second-year player take such a drastic step backward, but that's what we saw with Mitchell. After averaging 11.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 0.7 steals in his rookie year, Mitchell averaged just 5.6 points, 1.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.6 steals last season. It's easy to understand why because De'Aaron Fox took a step into stardom while Malik Monk and Kevin Huerter played playmaker when Fox was off the floor. We all know that Mitchell is one of the best defensive guards in the NBA, but he's not on the floor enough to impact fantasy. This breakout team also decided to stay pat in the offseason, and it's unlikely anything will change in this rotation with all the pieces remaining the same. There's simply no opportunity for Mitchell to produce with Fox in town, and a change of scenery might be his only choice if he wants to become a starter at some point. This is still a third-year player who was taken with the No. 9 pick, though, and we expect his averages to fall in the middle of those first two years. This is one of those guys who's a better real-life player than a fantasy option, and he should remain on your waiver wires unless something happens to Fox.
