The Utah Jazz will receive Louisville guard Donovan Mitchell with the No. 13 overall pick (via Nuggets) of the 2017 NBA draft on Thursday night.
Ford's Big Board ranking -- No. 14: "He has a ridiculous 6-10 wingspan. Elite athlete. Plays hard on both ends of the court. Can defend the 1 and the 2. Very aggressive. Good body." More (Insider)
Kevin Pelton's stats and scouting ranking -- No. 18: "I have Mitchell projected as a pure shooting guard. If he's able to handle minutes at point guard, his stats-only projection would jump into the top 20." More (Insider)

Super athletic wing
Good slasher who can finish above the rim
Good passer with an ability to play some PG
