2013 Summer League rosters, Orlando Summer Pro League - Boston
Tony MitchellMitchell won the D-League rookie of the year award, averaging 21.9 points (second in the league) and 6.4 rebounds per game. Down the stretch of the season, he went on an absolute scoring tear, scoring huge point totals which he wasn't exactly known for before this. Averaging only 14ppg at midseason, Mitchell started taking all the shots, taking more than 30 of them six different times, including 41 in a 51 point outing. This trend continued in the three games he played with Talk'N'Text in the Philippines, where he averaged 38.3 points and 11 rebounds per game. He gets points now, it seems. But he doesn't get them efficiently. Mitchell shot percentages of 42%/32%/72%, and the 1,049 points he scored took 941 shots to score. Mitchell is a volume scorer, a wannabe-isolation s corer who overvalues his jumpshot and is drifting further away from doing the little things. But even if he's not as good as it as he wants to be, he CAN score, and he's almost a perfect athletic specimen for a small forward. He just needs to stop wanting to be Rodney White and he'll make it.
