Tony Mitchell - Would LOVE him at #21

I might be about ready to start talking smack about Archie Goodwin @ 21 again. That guy is going to be a warrior, and he can get a step on just about anyone. Jazz are going to need a guy who can break down a defense.

Mitchell is a 6'8 PF that only played ONE ranked team last year (Creighton, lol). Against those college teams, most of which ranked in the 200's (literally), he shot 44% from the field and 30% from 3. All his numbers went down from the year prior. He either fouled out or only had one more foul to give in nearly half of the games last year.

He has talent, but all of that above is a definite red flag(s).
People have bad games.. but does this 'look' like an NBA PF?

Against Florida International (lol) - 32 minutes, 0pts, 2rbs, 4PF's
Against LA-Lafayette (lolololol) - 25 minutes, 3pts, 4rbs, fouled out

In the Florida Int'l game he was guarding Tyrnell Murphy who put up 22pts and 2rbs.
In the LA-Lafayette game, Mitchell was guarding Shawn Long (mostly) who put up 23pts and 15rbs.

Uggghh. That is pretty bad.


He looks pretty good in highlights though.

Maybe he can work with Karl Malone and learn something. He might be one of those slower learner-peak higher types.

He very well may..I actually like him a little. I see the upside.. I'm simply tempering things a bit.

Why are some of you not high on Mitchell? I think he is going to get drafted by Portland at #20 so he won't be available but if he is, I would love him at #21.

For what it's worth 16/18 of the mock drafts I just looked at think he'll be available at #21.

I think I heard an interview with Mitchell after his Utah workout and he said the Utah workout was his best at that time. I haven't been able to find the schedule of his workouts and which teams he may have met with after the Jazz.
