How many North Texas games have you watched this year?

I could lie and say I've watched three or four but I won't. I've watched none. But I see his stats and his highlights and I'm sold. Laugh at me all you want but most of us can say no better for a ton of these guys. Like I said, his stats are extremely efficient and I have no doubt he's the most athletic guy in this draft. Just filthy. Add in his skills and make-up or at least what we know of it, and he seem like he's exactly what we need. This isn't some out off nowhere guy who has no resume either. Like I said, a top 20 prospect coming out of a loaded HS senior class and he played well at the U-19 tourney.

Link? All I can find is one crappy video and a bunch of Tony Mitchell (Alabama) highlights.
 
The vote Tony video is the most GD cheesy thing I've ever seen. I hate him now .. for approving that abortion of a message.

Who cares. He's at a small school and probably decided to let some campus hanger-on have some fun getting his name out there. It doesn't change the fact that he's a beast and that, quite frankly, we could use some real nastiness like that.

Off topic. UK seems like a lock for the Final Four. For my boys, it's not as easy. If we do make it though, our path may include having beaten Majerus, Pitino, Donovan, and if we continue on, Calipari, and then any number of studs in the Finals. That would be pretty cool. Personally, Green feels like the best player/leader in this tourney. He has that collegiate it factor that seems undeniable. If we make it to the Final Four, will we beat you? I'm not sure. But I love having a guy like him in my corner. No matter how much sick talent the Wildcats have.
 
Love the defense of Mitchell. Unsure about his outside shot since his 3pt% is awesome but no one touts him as an outside threat.
DX projects him now at pick 27 in the first round. Why so low? What are the negatives that have him this low?

Mantooth loves him based on a very slick political campaign, but I need more info before I give him my vote.

/undecided.
 
I actually DID watch Mitchell a few times this year, somehow (ESPN at weird hours you end up with obscure basketball). I think Mitchell has a lot of nice tools, but lacks the ability to really take over a game that you'd like to see from a top pick. He doesn't do any ONE thing brilliantly and has a tendency to disappear at times from what I've seen.

That being said, he does do a lot of little things nicely and I think could be a Kawhi Leonard type player (maybe more post focused?) with a little bit more upside. I like him, probably not in the top 10-12
