I like Mitchell. He’s a good passer, shares the ball, shoots decent from 3, has some nice post moves. But his defense is not good, and his rebounding is also below average for his size/position.
So don’t take this the wrong way. But I hope he is out tonight vs Vandy. Why? Because it almost forces Cal’s hand to either give Z a real chance (or not). If Trey is out and Z doesn’t play or barely plays, then he has no chance the rest of the year. But hopefully out of necessity Z plays 15+ min tonight showing (Cal) his value to the team. Maybe his defense is inconsistent now, but it’s not like we have more than 1-2 giving good defense. At least with him there is more of a chance for improvement.
Also it’s Vandy. If there is a game to give a player a rest this is it.
