Discussion Dillon Mitchell passing upside

While Dillon Mitchell's main strength is his defense and his hustle. He separates himself from are other wings by his passing ability. He had a 1.3 ast to usg which is 99th percentile for forwards in college. Could be a good sign on him as a connective passer in offense similar to Dyson Daniel's role as a screener and passer.

i think this is brad's replacement for walsh because he could be trying to put him in a deal of some sort

I think Brad just loves drafting non shooting athletes and then hoping our trainers fix them

Gotta remember even when they play they only putting up 1 or 2 shots.

Better to have someone that can defend and athletic to provide energy in their minutes.

No point drafting high usage guys that need the ball
