Donovan Mitchell was born on September 7th, 1996 to parents Donovan Mitchell Sr. and Nicole Mitchell. He has one younger sister, Jordan. Mitchell was raised in Elmsford, NY and attended Greenwich Country Day School in Greenwich, CT.
Mitchell attended Canterbury School in New Milford, Connecticut for his sophomore year of high school before transferring to Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire for his junior and senior years. Along with basketball, he also played baseball in high school for two years, but focused on Basketball when he went to Brewster, a move which garnered him more attention from college basketball coaches. He committed to the University of Louisville to play college basketball.
Mitchell decided to wear the jersey number 45, showing his appreciation for Michael Jordan's MLB career. As a freshman at Louisville, in Kentucky, Mitchell averaged 7.4 points, 1.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game. As a sophomore, he averaged 15.6 points, 2.7 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game. Mitchell shot 46.3 percent from the floor, 35.4 percent from behind the arc and 80.6 percent from the free-throw line. He was named to the First Team All-Atlantic Coast Conference. After the season, he entered the 2017 NBA draft, but did not immediately hire an agent.
Mitchell was drafted by the Denver Nuggets with the 13th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft and was later traded to the Utah Jazz for the 24th pick (Tyler Lydon) and Trey Lyles.
