I think he's a lock to go 1st round. My guess is 15-25.
Got a lot of momentum going for him right now.

For as nice as his vertical and length appear, he does not explode at the rim (as evidenced by his 54.5% at the rim according to hoop-math). If you watch him, he has more trouble finishing than you would expect from someone with that kind of verticality and length.

Mitchell was a knock-down shooter in his workouts, had an advanced handle and finished well at the rim. If there's a player like Mitchell in this draft that could really impress in workouts, it would be Lonnie Walker or possibly Okobo.

His functional athleticism isn't anywhere near Oladipo. He's not very quick with the ball in his hands nor does he play above the rim often, and never does in traffic. It's a major concern about him that people aren't talking about enough.
