OCHAI is struggling big time to get mins in Utah and is shooting only 33% from the field
 
What gets me about Mitchell is how fast he is. How easily he gets passed a defender within 5 feet of the basket for an uncontested layup. I just didnt watch enough Utah to realize he is this good.
I am honestly impressed every time I watch him. Its amazing. I knew he had a versatile scoring package from that Denver series but he can create shots just about everywhere. The passing and defense is just icing on the proverbial cake.

He has allot of Dwayne Wade to his game imo, and i am not using the comparison lightly. Long armed, combo guard, strong, quick, but he is a better shooter but not as good as defender as Wade. Plus Wade had 2 or 3 inches on Mitchell, which helps for sure especially on the defensive end.
 
Not that it's surprising based off of his play but Mitchell has morphed into a top-10, borderline top-5, player this year according to some of the advanced impact stats...

He's currently 7th in WS/48, 7th in total win shares, 6th in VORP, 6th in BPM, 4th in WAR and 4th for RAPTOR...

He’s worse than Wade in several ways, definitely defensively, but he’s also a much better three point shooter which makes up for a lot

Wade will go down in history as the better player most likely, not saying different, But allot of Mitchell's game is similar.
 
He's such a creative slasher/shooter. Using people's momentum to slash past them into a euro-step layup for the score. Using people's momentum to stop on a dime and hitting a dagger three. This guy loves going against his defenders momentum.
