Mitchell uses his explosive leaping ability to his advantage making him a very good rebounder for his size... He is a willing defender who can guard multiple positions... Something our team lacked last year was consistent rebounding... Mitchell paired with Shumpert as the wing defenders could dominate the paint at both ends... Having a player willing to complement Melo at the forward position can have its advantages...
We all know Shumpert's abilities allow him to cover PGs, SGs, & SFs...
Well Mitchell's abilities allow him to cover SGs, SFs, PFs...
Melo is stronger at the PF position, while Felton can hold his own at the PG position...
If we lose J.R. & Copeland, Mitchell will makeup for both of them in one roster spot...
