Dillon Mitchell
Larry Nance Jr.
Nance had a better shooting stroke as a SO than Mitchell, but Mitchell has been better in most other categories. Better FG%, better rebounder, fewer fouls, fewer turnovers, against much better competition.
Mitchell has already improved from 40% FT to 60% FT in the last year - and he was up to 69% in conference. With another full year in the gym, I can see him getting his free throws up over 75% this year. And honestly I don't want him settling for long range shots. He has the ability to get to the rim.
I can't imagine wanting to move on from this kid. All the physical tools are there for him to be a great college player. He is a really good rebounder and is a very willing defender. He pretty well shut down Dalton Knecht (the SEC POY) last night and did it without fouling. He also seems to have a good attitude and is willing to do the dirty work, without getting a huge amount of shots. That is rare for a player with his HS recruiting pedigree.
