Watch Out! Dwyane Wade Predicts Donovan Mitchell's Rise as a Basketball Superstar

Wade had elevated expectations for the Cavaliers, particularly with standout Donovan Mitchell at the helm. Overall, the team's performance didn’t leave much room for disappointment. On his podcast, Wade highlighted Coach of the Year Kenny Atkinson and Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley as key assets. Regarding Mitchell's efforts, Wade expressed, “That was disappointing; it wasn’t solely about injuries, but the level of competition.” Despite acknowledging the young core's potential, Wade felt the Cavs could have pushed harder during crucial moments. He reflected on game three, where Mitchell scored 43 points, stating that he exhibited fight, which his teammates mirrored. However, Wade noted a lack of tenacity afterward, asserting that Mitchell needs to elevate his game to secure an NBA championship.
