Weight: 190 lbs
Prez’s Sales Pitch: 6-foot-5 with exceptional, vet-like footwork he uses racking up middies, floaters and free throws. Mitchell doesn’t take many threes but makes the ones he takes. Elite touch, with savvy passing. In an age where we see more and more skill/feel/stats prospects succeed, bet on Mitchell, who dominated in that manner despite regularly being the only scoring threat on his team. Two, three, four players regularly couldn’t stop him getting to his spots.
Questions about their projection: Mitchell has size, but not explosive athleticism. He’s not a speed demon, nor does he play above the rim often. On top of that, he absolutely needs to shoot more threes in the pros; assuming he can ratchet up the volume and keep the accuracy is dicey. He rarely played against strong competition in the NCAA, so how much stock do we put in his numbers?
Important Stats:
- 20/4/4 on 50/39/86 splits/61 TS%. Tremendous volume and efficiency.
- 0.47 FTR. A great number for a guard.
- 28.2 assist rate (AST%)/13.5 turnover rate (TOV%)
- 31 usage rate (USG%). Very high.
- 2.9 3PA. Very low.
- 65% at the rim
- Two games vs. top-100 teams. Lowest among any NCAA player we’ll cover.

I’m for giving him a look because his game reminds me a bit of Brunson’s. Imagine him under Brunson’s tutelage? I think my concerns about him are the 2 games against the top 100 and the fact that he doesn’t pop defensively but definitely worth a look in the second
