Best Case / Worst Case: Can Davion Mitchell be the Raptors' backup point guard, and is that even in his best interest?

Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

Can Davion Mitchell prove to be a viable second-draft project and backup point guard for the Toronto Raptors, and what shape would a successful season for the 4th-year, former Sacramento King take if everything breaks right? In Episode 1700, Sean Woodley digs into the best, worst and most likely case scenarios for the Raptors' biggest offseason addition. Off the top, Sean details why Mitchell finding a comfort zone as the Raptors' no-doubt backup point guard would absolutely be the best case outcome for his first season in Toronto, but why history suggests that probably ain't gonna happen. Next, what if the Raptors' try to force a square peg into a round hole and run with Mitchell as their backup point guard, even if it isn't working? The answer: a worst-case outcome kind of season that maybe spells the end of his NBA career. Lastly, Sean looks at the most likely outcome for Mitchell, who stands a decent chance of being a useful 8th-man who does most of his work off the ball on offense -- but is there a world in which he's good enough to earn a perhaps questionable new contract from a Raptors team that loves to commit money (and more notably years) to fringe rotation guys?
