Welcome to the Celtics Dillon Mitchell

[Goldstar88]

Pre-Draft Analysis
Strengths: Mitchell has a strong frame and great defensive versatility, which allows him to guard multiple positions at 6-8. He creates extra possessions defensively and on the glass.

Weaknesses: He offers very little offensively -- with nearly everything coming at the rim -- and lacks a reliable jump shot after four years of college.

The verdict: While the value of the specific high-energy role Mitchell fills will be unorthodox and team-specific, he's an NBA talent who can hold his own physically in the league. What happens next will largely depend on a team's vision for maximizing his strengths.

Sounds like Jordan Walsh with even less offense. Yikes.

[Who]

A 3rd inferior version of J Walsh & Hugo.

Exactly what we needed.

[Goldstar88]

I really don?t get this pick. Wish Brad moved up a few spots to get Evans or Thomas. Smh

Exactly. They already have Walsh..

Brad loves picking wings that are athletic that cannot shoot whatsoever. He will be buried in Maine. Waste of a pick.

I would have doubled up on a big with veesaar

Same. Or sharp out of Houston. Mitchell will never play a minute in Boston regular season wise. He is a g league roster filler.

Glass half full: Maybe Mitchell can become a poor mans Ausar Thompson? He will never be a shooter, but the athleticism and passing ability are encouraging.

Waste of a pick.

I don?t love the pick really but we have done okay developing some of these no-offense wings into helpful regular season minute eaters. 

[celticinorlando]

It is hard enough to stomach and watch Walsh play. Now they added the same kind of player in Mitchell. Dumb.

Take the big out of UNC and have 4 guys battle it out at center.

Jordan Walsh clone was my thought as well.

Jordan Walsh is 6 months younger than Mitchell. The athleticism is tantalizing, but the upside is not

Poor man's Walsh.
