Take a closer look at how Donovan Mitchell is driving the Cavs’ success through his leadership.
Donovan Mitchell has felt fully embraced as a Cavalier. In a season that has seen the Cavaliers win 64 games, the second most in franchise history, the expectations are at an all-time high.
The Cavaliers journey under Mitchell is featured on Episode 5 of “Pass The Rock Season 3”. The NBA Entertainment original provides fans with all-access coverage into the lives of the game’s youngest stars in their on-and off-court endeavors.
Mitchell, who picked up his love of basketball as a kid, has always wanted to be remembered for one characteristic; being a champion.
“It’s more than just making the playoffs, it’s a finals run, it’s winning a championship, we gotta go out there and take it”, Mitchell said.
With his leadership, the Cavs are poised to do so.
“When your best player empowers the people around them, that’s a true superstar for me.” Cavaliers Head Coach Kenny Atkinson said.
Mitchell acknowledges his squad’s historic season but aims to lead with consistency at the forefront.
“The biggest thing is continuing to be this team come playoff time.”
The Cavaliers begin their second round series Sunday against the Indiana Pacers (Time TBD).
