The guard was selected ninth overall by the Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets) in the 2011 NBA Draft. In addition to the Bobcats\/Hornets, the New York native has also played for the Celtics (2019\u201321), Knicks (2021\u201322) and Pistons.

The guard helped Baylor win the NCAA Tournament in 2021. In the NCAA, he won Naismith Defensive Player of the Year, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and was selected First-Team All-Big 12 in 2021 as well. The Kings selected Mitchell ninth overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. The Hinesville, Georgia native averaged 11.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game last season with Sacramento.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kennedy Chandler is 6′ tall as well. The 19-year-old was selected 38th overall by the Spurs in last month’s draft. Though, his draft rights were immediately traded to the Grizzlies.
