Paul George, Chris Paul helped convince Donovan Mitchell to enter 2017 NBA Draft
Mitchell didn't plan on being part of the 2017 draft class
Donovan Mitchell has emerged as one of the best prospects of the 2017 draft class: the 21-year-old guard, selected with the No. 13 overall pick, has become a leader for the Utah Jazz, averaging 17.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his first months in the NBA.
However, Mitchell initially didn't even plan on being part of that draft class. He wanted to play another season at Louisville.
In order to maintain his college eligibility, he paid all of his expenses to participate in the Creative Artists Agency pre-draft camp. He planned to measure himself with other NBA prospects and then return to college.
But Chris Paul and Paul George helped convince Donovan Mitchell to stay in the 2017 draft. The two NBA All-Stars, and also CAA clients, told Mitchell that he belonged in the NBA.
