Tre Mitchell - Most Important Player on team

[wobycat]

Shep, wags, and the others are great but Tre is the most important piece to win it all. Brings experience and calm presence

He also stretches the floor unlike anything we have had. His ability to knock down the 3 opens up slashing lanes and other shooters, like Shep and Dilly.

Tre's passing is also really good. I wish more coaches would get DUIs, get fired, and therefore have their rosters ready to be ransacked.

 

[cardkilla]

Think you're right. Absolutely love his game. Such a smooth stroke on that shot too, its butter! He's actually the piece i feel like our recent teams have missed. If everyone stays healthy this is a FF team.

Cal made the tweak after the Kansas game which is to run the offense through Mitchell and it's working out fine.

 

[crestcat]

Love his game. Unselfish and lets the game come to him. I can see MVP.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

importance in this order:

Shep
Bradshaw
Dillingham
Mitchell
Reeves
Edwards
Thiero
Wagner

Every time he hits one of those straight away 3s, it completely breaks the defense

Love Mitchell. He absolutely works his tail off trying to stop the oppositions inside play. However, this team is a real team of 7 (8+ hopefully soon). We all have our favorites, but it's all 7 right now.

 

[University-6]

His passing has been sublime. His shot is great, and he's underrated in the post, but it's his passing that puts him over the top. He is the best passing frontcourt player I've seen since Eric Daniels and maybe ever.

 

[Cats192]

He's definitely the hardest to replace.

We've got a lot of guards. If one of those guys go down, we can turn to another. I sure hope none of them miss major time. But we've got depth there.

If Edwards goes down, I think you just put another guard in and go small ball. If Theiro goes down, slide Edwards to the 4 and put a guard at the 3.

If Mitchell goes down, we don't really have a lot of great options. Now, once Bradshaw and Z get back, you can kind of compensate for Mitchell's absence.

This.

He’s the closest thing to irreplaceable that we have.

One of the most underrated players at UK. I loved watching the inside ball movement with him and Hayes.

 

[Cawood86]

Yep. Said it weeks ago. Versatile. Calm. Leading. Very fortunate he came hete.

 

[permdaddy]

The spacing he allows and his passing are irreplaceable. Wouldn't be the same team without him. Also amazing vocal leadership. He's not one of those older guys that people say lead by example you can see him leading this team almost every game.

 

[shaudyshaud]

He struggled a little bit in the first half and our lead went away . He played great in the second half and we dominated so I would agree .
