The Defensive Genius Of Davion Mitchell | Kings Film Room Analysis

Davion Mitchell may only be a rookie, but he is already one of the best perimeter defenders that we have in the NBA. In this video I break down and analyze Davion's defense this season, and everything that he brings to the table on this end. Expect an offense breakdown of Davion sometime within the next week.

Welcome to Kings Film Room, where we analyze Sacramento Kings basketball through a different perspective, focusing on the X's and O's of the game and studying the tape. I appreciate you guys for supporting the channel, and leave any feedback or suggestions down below. THank you!

My favorite part about Davion this year was how he consistently improved as the season progressed. It makes me very optimistic about his ceiling. I'm loving Monte's best player available approach to the draft so far. Here's hoping he can add another gem with this year's lottery 🤞🙏

Davion is legit the ONLY PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN. Break opponents ankles with his defense.

I was stationed in Savannah/Hinesville from 2011-2017…Davion was a household name in Hinesville-dude is humble and he plays the game right!! We will be seeing more from him-

These film sessions are goated! Amazing analysis! 👑

Amazing work here...hope he instill his defence mentality on the kings this offseason.

watching this now as the kings are up 81-69 in the 2nd game of the series against the warriors, mitchell putting on a clinic!

I love the work you do on this channel. 10 minutes of substance and concrete points made with film evidence shown all throughout. So many other channels fill their run-time with all fluff just citing numbers they found somewhere and running with narratives that they hope their audience already sort of believe in anyway to sound like they have an actual point to make. Those would be all too easy to script and edit with random highlights playing on loop in the background in order to fill out an upload schedule with empty calories.

The effort and attention to detail you put in these videos deserve more attention in my opinion. I hope the Kings repay your hard work with a winning season and an influx of interest in legit Kings basketball content 🙏

love watching the guy defend. He, jose alvarado, and jrue holiday, along with marcus smart. Elite on ball defenders !

[joesanchez]

Wow you really broke it down with Davion. Love these vids! Please continue, I could watch these all day.

[LivinProoof]

The way he matches and mirrors the player with the ball is incredible. It's almost like he reacts to their move at the exact same time they start the move.

Great work! Looking forward to more of these videos!

Fantastic analysis. I just came across your channel and really enjoy your content. I love this kid Davion, especially with so many smallish finesse guards in the league right now. He is a pitbull

I love Davion, it’s always great to see these defensive minded players get recognition. I’m a 76er fan and see the defensive impact of Matisse Thybulle nearly every possession, but Davion is a lot better offensively and doesn’t go for big unnecessary plays on defense like Matisse does. Davion has so much potential still even if he’s one of the older guys from the draft this past year. Great video and love the analysis 🙌

Your line “Bagley, with no surprise, gets killed…” is so golden and is a painful reminder to this fan base what we have gone through for the last 16 seasons…

[davidvictorsomerville]

Great breakdown, appreciate you didn’t include just takeaway plays

[terrytenley]

It was no fluke when Baylor defeated Gonzaga..in the national championship.. Gonzaga was undefeated.. Mitchell disrupted that offense and Baylor won..WHY.?? It was the defense of Mitchell. Now the kings do not play him enough.. We need Mitchell in the starting lineup..

[LordFenix]

when Mitchell starts scoring the triple it will be. immovable from the starting team I hope he learns from doug and becone the lock of the scoring perimeter

[pgpacernation]

the great thing about Davion is that he's such a good defender that the players he guards shoot 41% from the field. the problem is that he himself shoots 39%.
If he can make himself a below average offensive player, he could have a long career as a smaller version of Marcus Smart.

[lyricunknown]

We haven’t seen a guard play this level of defense since Doug Christie

[Kleawithease]

Davion would be a top DB in the NFL. Dudes eye discipline and hips are insane
