\"davion“Heat Culture”. Tyler Herro had only this expression in his mouth after the historic qualification of the Heat, and Davion Mitchell<\/strong> is the worthy heir to this identity. Arrived during the season of Toronto, the former lining of De'Aaron Fox seemed to evolve in Miami, and that night, he was immense in overtime with three 3-point baskets!<\/p>\n

We knew him a good defender in Sacramento, and we discovered him as a joker in Miami. He and Tyler Herro are involved on 31 points of their team in the 4th quarter and extension. “To see him so much in difficulty in the first half, then succeeding in such a 4th quarter and this extension, that says a lot about his character”<\/em> underlines Erik spo -lstra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He plays 40 minutes out of the bench<\/h3>\n

Before shining at the end of the match, Davion Mitchell had missed all his shots in the first half, and he was seven points when attacking the extension … <\/p>\n

“I had the impression of forcing a little in the first half, and that I was trying to do too much”<\/em>he admits. “I just recovered mentally\u2026. And I let the game come to me. I just believe in the work that I did. Even if I miss shots, it does not matter. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Author finally of 16 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds with a beautiful 4 out of 9 to 3-point, Davion Mitchell was also essential in defense on Trae Young. It is no coincidence that Erik Spoelstra left him 40 minutes on the ground!<\/p>\n

“It's a warrior, a pitbull, call him as you want”<\/em> concludes Tyler Herro. \u201cDavion deserves to be in one of the all-nba defensive team. In the first, the second, or the third … No matter how many there are. It is a precious recruit and I am so happy that it is with us. It's really a threat to defense. \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

His next mission? Brake his homonym, a certain Donovan Mitchell\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
