Class:2012 (High School)

Strengths:
Mitchell may not be the best of the crop, but he does have a desire to improve. Mitchell brings a diverse group of scoring options in the lane and for the most part, understands that he's a post player who will make his mark in the lane. When doubled he is a good passer out of the post who has a feel when and where the double team is coming. When fresh, Mitchell plays with an energetic motor that creates opportunities for both himself and his teammates.

Weaknesses: Mitchell has always seemed to struggle with conditioning. Evaluating him both with his high school team and AAU team Mitchell seems to wear down quickly and at times struggles to keep up with the pace of the game. He needs to be able to use every post move he has and have a better understanding of angles in the post to compensate for his lack of lift off the floor. Many times he is non-existent on the glass because he struggles to get to balls out of his area. With better conditioning and stamina those are balls he could get to or get a hand on late in games.

Bottom Line:
He has a charasmatic personality and seems like he would be a great teammate. Regardless of his lack of athleticism or bounce off the floor he has shown he can score the ball in the post against good competition. Mitchell will be successful as long as he goes to a school that plays a style allows him to play to his strengths.
