Dillon Mitchell, the explosive 6’8″ forward out of St. John’s, has officially signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) Basketball for full representation ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft. Andrew Morrison will oversee his on-field interests, while Lloyd Frischer manages his off-field and marketing portfolio.
The signing is a step up from Mitchell’s previous relationship with the agency, he was with CAA for NIL representation only during his freshman year at Texas back in 2022. This new deal brings him into the fold as a full client ahead of his professional transition.
Mitchell has had a career defined by resilience and versatility, earning McDonald’s All-American honors in 2022, winning Jordan Brand Classic MVP, and most recently posting 9.3 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1.6 SPG, and 1.0 BPG for St. John’s in 2025-26, earning Third-Team All-Big East and Big East All-Defensive Team recognition. Draft scouts have flagged him as a high-motor, two-way forward with legitimate NBA-level athleticism.
CAA Basketball has been active on the draft representation front. The agency recently signed college standout Christian Anderson Jr. and also brought NBA veteran Caleb Martin, signaling the agency’s continued push to build one of basketball’s most competitive rosters.
Takeaways
This is more than a routine signing, it’s a strategic upgrade. Mitchell graduating from a limited NIL arrangement to full dual representation with one of the most powerful sports agencies in the world says a lot about where his draft stock is trending.
CAA isn’t signing prospects they don’t believe in, and pairing him with two dedicated agents covering both on-court and brand-side opportunities is a clear signal that they see real money-making potential here, both in the draft and beyond.
Can Mitchell’s defensive versatility and athleticism make him an attractive second-round target, or even a late first-round pick, in the 2026 NBA Draft? With Lloyd Frischer handling his off-field work, what kinds of brand partnerships could Mitchell unlock during the pre-draft process?
