Guard Wendell Mitchell — B-

‘Chucky’ Mitchell only plays 10.7 minutes per game, but for the little time he gets on the floor, Mitchell averages a solid 3.6 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists. But most importantly, I love the fire and toughness that Mitchell brings off the bench, which helps him earn this B- grade.

Mitchell is not going to score the basketball, rebound or distribute at a high level, but he will bring aggressiveness and intensity on the defensive end of the floor. He does the things that don’t show up on the stat sheet.
