Profile:
Mitchell is the top ranked 2020 post prospect in the state of Illinois and by a fairly sizeable margin. He has all the physical tools with great length and projectability. Mobility on the interior allows him to block shots and he can switch in ball screens. Offensively his versatility allows him to score with a soft touch around the hoop, run the floor, and face up making him a major mismatch!
Odds to Win:
30/1
Why He Can Win:
The Bloom big man is a player that nobody in the state has a clear answer for. When he is rolling he is one of the toughest covers in the state. Mitchell will be a focal point on a loaded Bloom team that is among the state title favorites. He is a fun player with his swats and rim rattling blocks.
Obstacles to Win:
He is on a team that has so many weapons that it will be tough for him to put up a ton of huge scoring games. The biggest thing will be he needs consistently produce and dominate in big games because he has the talent to do it!
