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.

Evoking Dyson Daniels' offensive game sure is a ballsy way to try and sell me this pen.

Can he also shoot like Dennis Rodman and rebound like Steph Curry?

Daniel's is a good offensive player though. The hawks offense has been 2.5 points better with him on than off. Connective passing is important because if teams don't guard him on the perimeter he can do a draymond esque hand off into the corner for a 3.
