Mitchell injury...

[sluggercatfan]

Have you watched him play at all this year?

He is lost constantly. He is not capable of staying in front of his man and gets bullied by anyone with size.

He can shoot but is an absolute liability anytime he is doing anything else.

Compare his production PER MINUTES played vs anybody not named Sheppard. Easily the most talented big on this team. Only Cal's chosen ones get second, third chances whatever they need to fulfill Cal's dreams. You must be the one not watching.

He’s not a good rebounder. Only worse one other than the guards is Edwards

Our 7 footer are much worse at rebounding

Wait what? You think Thiero is a defensive liability? You must be a wealth of basketball knowledge.

And Thiero is a nice player offensively. Unlike Tre, he lets the better offensive players go to work. And get this, he's shooting the 3 at a higher percentage than your boy.

Tre was great to start the year, but I think Cal's over usage of him is what has dropped his production. The kid has been playing hurt since December. Don't believe me, go look at any of the games while Thiero was out. Tre was wearing that back brace they make a big deal out of Thiero wearing, every time Tre went to the bench.

The actual data say otherwise!
So you are wrong.

Below are the per-30min rebounding averages for our C’s and F’s from best to worst:
11.1 Ivisic
8.4 Onyenso
7.4 Theiro
7.3 Burks
7.1 Bradshaw
6.8 Mitchell
4.9 Edwards

So Bradshaw is a tiny bit better;
Onyenso is 24% better;
and Z is 43% better (granted a small sample size)

MRI was negative. Sprained trapezius and is doubtful for Auburn but likely not out significant time.

But..but...I read here that he was done for the season, possible career implications. Borderline amputation worthy injury?

Damn, they need him no matter what some on here think. I’m still gonna pray he is good and it’s just a bruise

My first thought when I saw it was that it was a stinger.

Per LV update: Sprained trapezius muscle in his upper back, out Sat. Says he's in more pain than before with limited range of motion.

Injury Will Likely Keep Tre Mitchell Out of Auburn Game

Vicky Graff Photo Kentucky likely will be without Tre Mitchell Saturday when it plays at No. 13 Auburn which will be coming off a 40-point home win over South Carolina. Mitchell missed UK’s win at Vanderbilt and

Don't worry, Z won't play. Cal has seen to that. You can relax.

You've confused me with someone else, I don't care one way or the other whether he plays. He's a lousy offensive rebounder, because he's always hanging around the 3 point line pretending to be a guard.
You keep being you though. Spouting fast food quality McOpinions
