Mitchell gives us shooting and spreads the floor. He may have had a cold stretch, but he's 37% from 3 on the season. Thiero is shooting 17% from 3 on the season.
You mean except the person you're arguing with and the people that agree with him.
"the most misleading stat in basketball" - funny how that suddenly became the drumbeat of the cowbois once Sheppard started being its poster child.
Mitchell has been a good passer from the high post, he’s not a back to the basket power forward. He turned it over several times trying to make his own play down low today. He’s a great 5 out forward! He probably doesn’t need 36 minutes a game. He gets kinda lax on defense!
I'm not commenting on the offense in the post you're quoting.
Adou is probably the worst +/- guy on the team. The great game he had against Kansas, worst plus minus. Best vs Kansas? Jordan Burks. There are so many variables that go into that stat that it should carry too much weight on its own.
It’s because he had 9 rebounds. Thiero had 2. Pay attention. He play d those minutes because he rebounded. Jeez, figure it out
No question Thiero and some others need to work on that. But Mitchell hasn’t been lighting it up. 3/12 over his last four games and now at 34.5% on the year. And I can’t remember him not being wide open on any of these.
If you don’t think that Thiero would have more than 9 boards in 36 minutes, I don’t know what to tell you. You do understand that he has led the team all year in rebounds, right? And if you break it down to rebounds per 40 minutes, Mitchell is not even close. Jeez, figure it out.
Nope. He’s 34.48% after that game. 10/29.
Those 2 losses had a lot to do with him, and his foul shooting. And you can point to his play vs. St Joes and say he was huge in OT - and you’re right. But if he defends better and makes his free throws in that game, there is no OT.
It's not hate per se, it's just yet another thread where we call out one of our guys that while not have a great game, has been a sizable part of wins up to this point. Remember without Tre, we probably lose to freaking St. Joe's.
Liability? Oooook.
So we're gonna lay that OT squarely at his feet? Not sure if that's more horse crap or bull manure, but whatever. He's not the only one that left shooters wide freaking open that night. Reed did, Dilly did.....they all freaking did.
Wrong. He is not a good rebounder (today was an exception), nor a good defender. He is a good passer though. But no one on this team is good enough to warrant 34-36mpg.
Check out the rebounding thread from a few days ago. Mitchell is NOT equal to Theiro in rebounding. He gets 6/gm because he plays so many minutes. His per-30-min rebounding average is about 5.4, about the worst of any UK 4 or 5 in many years. Worse than even Sheppard and Dillingham. Theiro is around 7.8.
Not a good rebounder? If we're going to argue empirical things, at least argue them correctly. He has 48 rebounds on the season.....second only to Adou......who has.....*checks notes* .....fourty freaking nine. So a grand total of 1 bigly more.
Theiro is a better defender and rebounder. And those are our 2 areas of biggest need right now.
I did argue them correctly. You are wrong!
You're literally arguing with the stats I just posted He's ONE behind Thierno. ONE.

You just made a mistake calling out the board Statistician (yes that is my PROFESSION) on statistics!
And I posted from ESPN as well. But you chose to ignore that as well.
It’s not as simple as “I’m going to go with Tre atm.” The argument is not, “Let’s replace Tre with Thiero.” The argument is that Tre doesn’t need 36 minutes while Thiero has 14.
“Keeping your own numbers…” lol
It’s more than “suspect.” His defense probably won’t be enough to get him to the G League. Even some teams overseas will give him a hard pass.
Thank you….that is all many people are stating. If you have depth (and we have finally have it this year) use it. Guys can’t play hard as possible for 20 straight minutes…..especially big ones. There is no reason to play Mitchell above 30-32 minutes He does lax defense and rebound on the whole season
VERY fortunate to have Tre Mitchell on this team...many very good qualities. Love having his presence--leadership and experience--on the court.
