THe weirdest thing is just how bad Mitchell has been in transition. Those stats are actually insane when you consider how athletic and explosive he used to play. Here are his percentiles in transitions since entering the league:

-2017/2018 - 38.1 percentile
-2018/2019 - 13.2 percentile
-2019/2020 - 9.5 percentile
-2020/2021 - 24.5 percentile
-2021/2022 - 24.6 percentile

Those stats are bonkers. It's kind of hard to believe it when you see it. This is one of the things that's holding back Mitchell the most... the play type that most superstars excel at and bump up their efficiency with is the one where Mitchell struggles with the most. He's actually really good at the hard parts of offensive creation.... but the really easy stuff he needs massive improvements with.

IDK how the stat is configured but it makes sense when you think about what he has had around him. We were so unathletic on the perimeter.

It's not that weird. He's a terrible 1 foot jumper and he's 6'1. He also prefers to walk the ball up the court. He's never been a transition pusher.

His game is predicated off Gobert getting him open.

It's not about volume. It's about success when you actually do it. In essence when he tried to score in transition he was not good at it.

He's the biggest reason we've been bad in transition though. there's plenty of teams who arent great athletically who excel in transition off the 3. Don is a serial walk the ball up the court guy tho.

Conley, Rudy and Bojan are so well known for their end to end speed and athleticism.

While Royce is afraid to dribble. If Clarkson gets it, he has to shoot within two dribbles, and he sucks from 50 feet.

Makes for great transition basketball....

Rudy is the only reason Don was good too btw, these dudes are racist clowns.

I guess so... I just think you would need other guys running too and we have had very little athleticism. I'm sure he shares in that but I'm not sure its 100% his fault... he may walk it up because you can't do 1 on 3 fast breaks.
