TIER 4 · #12 OVERALLDepth piece — #6 among guards

Donovan Mitchell is ranked #6 among 198 eligible NBA guards. He profiles as a bench or matchup-based option — draft late or stream when the schedule lines up. His final five games came in 3.1 points per game below his average. His minutes held steady (32.4/game vs 33.4 on the season), so the drop appears related to lower per-minute production rather than reduced playing time.
