The best rookie of the 2017 draft class thus far, Mitchell is in one of the best situations in the NBA - mentored by one of the best head coaches in the league, backed by a front office that traded up on draft night to acquire him and with a bunch of teammates who know their roles very well and execute it to perfection.
Expect Mitchell to be an All-Star caliber player for the entirety of the 2018-19 NBA season, health permitting.
