Ok let's have the early predictions. PPG? FG%, 3 pt%, accolades, role on team, records set, whatever you think Mitchell will become in this very next season, after a summer working with the coaching staff.
I expect a modest uptick in percentages. I am going to say 46% FG (up from 43% this season), and 38% 3 pt (up from 34%). FT% stays the same, in the 80's.
I think he will lead the jazz with 22 ppg, but could get up to 25 depending on adjustments made over the summer by the team. The way we play team ball I just don't see him with enough outbursts to get much over like 24 at the top end. But we will see a lot of 20 pt games from him next year.
I think we will see an uptick in his rebounds and assists, especially after everything he learned in these playoffs when he had to adjust his game, and playing against Westbrook and Harden for 2 full series. He ended with 24.4 ppg, 4 asst and 5 reb per in the playoffs. His season averages for asst and reb was at 3. I think this bumps to 4+ assists and 5 rebounds.
I think he comes back with a plethora of new moves. I am hoping he works on his 3 pt shot the most, as that will open up the game for him more than anything right now. But I would also love to see him develop a tear-drop floater in the lane. This shot would be available for him almost every time he drives.
I do not think he will be chosen for the all-star game. Just too many established guards in the West that are already at that level and as a 2nd year player, unless he comes out guns blazing and puts up like 28 per game or something, he just won't get the nod.
But here is to hoping that he is the finals MVP next year.
