In the second edition of the 2017 NBA Mock Draft Donovan Mitchell stays put at number 12. As I have said a few times now on 790 KRD with Howie Lindsey, I believe Mitchell did enough at the combine to lock himself in the top half of the draft (10-20). I believe Detroit is the best fit as far as scheme, but any team from 10 to 15 would have playing time and would be a good fit for Mitchell. It will also be interesting to see other prospects who begin to be mentioned in the race to be the first player taken. As of today I believe it will be Markelle Fultz, but Jayson Tatum, Josh Jackson and Lonzo Ball all will be considered by the Celtics.. IF they keep the pick.
