Dillon Mitchell does a lot of the dirty work.<\/p>\n
He defends like hell, he rebounds, he cuts into space and keeps the ball movement flowing. He\u2019s a true glue guy.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s also a very rough outside shooter.<\/p>\n
After stops at Texas, Cincinnati, and most recently St. John\u2019s, Mitchell took just 57 shots from beyond the arc, connecting on 11 of them. It\u2019s just not part of his game, but even without that element, he finds ways to leave an impact.<\/p>\n
Mitchell\u2019s ability to connect on offense stems from constant screens, quick decision-making and dribble penetration that opens up space for others.<\/p>\n
Mitchell closed out his college career with a strong season under Rick Pitino, earning All-Big East honors and a spot on the conference\u2019s All-Defensive Team.<\/p>\n
