OCTOBER 13, 2022 • YOUTUBE
Game-high 24 points Mitchell scored 24 points (8-26 FG, 4-10 3 Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with eight rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes in a win over the Hawks on Wednesday.
Impact Mitchell got off to a poor start after shooting just 3-of-15 from the field in the first half. However, the newly-acquired guard was able to get it going in the second half on 5-of-11 shooting, including 4-of-6 from three, to lead to his game-high 24 points. Mitchell's first three in the fourth quarter put the Cavaliers up 80-78, and he came right back with a second one on the following possession to further extend the lead. The eight rebounds were also a plus, with three of them coming on the offensive end, though he was charged with four fouls in the game.

Quiet night Monday Mitchell finished with 11 points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 28 minutes during Monday's loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Mitchell struggled to find any rhythm on the offensive end in the loss yet managed to chip in across several other categories. Despite the subpar performance, Mitchell looks set for a strong season, playing alongside one of the most exciting young guards in the league, that being Darius Garland. While his scoring could take a slight hit this season, Mitchell remains a safe pick in the third round of competitive drafts.
