Lakers training camp invitees Joe Crawford and Brandon Heath will be joined by a familiar face when D-Fenders training camp opens later this month–Dwayne Mitchell. Today the D-Fenders front office acquired Mitchell in exchange for forward Patrick Sanders.
Mitchell spent the summer playing for the Lakers entry to the Vegas Summer Pro League, averaging 6.7 points on .619 shooting, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.83 steals in 15.0 minutes over six games.
Dwayne struggled to find his way during Lakers training camp as he was injured early and never found his way amid a crowded backcourt.
Before playing for the Lakers, the 6’5” 220-pound guard out of Louisiana Lafayette played for the D-League’s Iowa Energy, where he averaged over 20 points and 6 rebounds per game on his way to earning a spot on the D-League All-Star team.
