Solid contribution off bench
Mitchell posted 12 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 20 minutes during Friday's 126-107 victory over Houston. Mitchell matched his best scoring total of the season in the win. Oklahoma City's 2024 second-round prospect has appeare din every game but is only averaging 13.9 minutes over nine contests. Unless an injury bolsters his spot on the depth chart, his fantasy viability is limited.
Sticks in rotation Monday
Mitchell finished with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 12 minutes during Monday's 102-86 win over the Magic. Mitchell has seen the court in all seven games thus far this season, albeit in a limited role. He is averaging 4.0 points in 13.7 minutes per game, with the majority of his playing time coming in the final quarter of games. While it does appear as though he is going to be an every-night part of the rotation, it is unlikely he touches the floor when it matters.
Returns to practice
Mitchell was a full participant in Saturday's practice, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Mitchell missed the Thunder's previous preseason contest due to an ankle injury but appears to have fully recovered. The rookie guard should be available for Tuesday's preseason matchup with Denver.
Racks up team-high 19 points Monday
Mitchell notched 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Monday's 112-107 preseason win over the Spurs. Mitchell exploded for a team-high 19 points while coming off the bench. The No. 38 overall pick of the 2024 Draft was a scoring machine in his final season with UC Santa Barbara, during which he averaged 20.0 points while shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from beyond the arc. Mitchell will likely struggle to find significant playing time among a stacked Thunder backcourt, but he is expected to spend some time in the G League to further develop under a two-way pact.
Sitting out remainder of SL
Mitchell won't play in another Summer League game in order to allow more opportunities for other players, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. The Thunder must have liked what they saw out of Mitchell, as they feel good enough about the No. 38 pick in the 2024 NBA draft to shut him down after five Summer League games. The UC Santa Barbara product was signed to a two-way deal and should split time between the NBA and the G League as a rookie.
Paces scoring attack
Mitchell totaled 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 25 minutes during Monday's 102-73 Summer League loss to the Heat. Mitchell was one of the lone bright spots in a blowout loss, leading the team in scoring by knocking down 57.1 percent of his tries from the field. It was nice to see the 22-year-old bounce back following a 6-for-18 shooting performance from the field Saturday against Toronto.
Posts polished final line
Mitchell finished with 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks in 28 minutes during Monday's 102-92 loss against the 76ers in the Salt Lake City Summer League. Mitchell turned in a strong showing in his first game action since being drafted with the No. 38 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, finishing second on the team in scoring while also stuffing the stat sheet with a team-high three steals and two blocks. The rookie guard should continue to see a healthy helping of opportunities as Summer League play continues.
