1. Donovan Mitchell | Louisville Cardinals | Guard

Draft Express ACC Ranking: 14th

Year: Sophomore

Height/Weight: 6-foot-3 & 210 pounds

We have heard many different commentators talk about Deng Adel being the Cards’ best NBA prospect, but Draft Express has a strong liking for Donovan Mitchell. As Louisville fans, this is obviously one of our favorite players to watch every week.

Mitchell is dominating Louisville’s opponents on the defensive end of the floor and is currently the team’s second leading scorer, just one tiny (0.1) behind Quentin Snider.

It will be important for the Cards to get Mitchell going on the offensive side of the ball on Wednesday night because they will need every point he can get in a low scoring affair.
