After looking at some of the players that were drafted ahead of Mitchell, Schmitz continued, “Mitchell should play an important role on a fairly successful team while showing the potential to become a top-10 player out of the 2017 class.”

Schmitz was also very high on Kuzma, saying, “Kuzma is a skilled modern 4 who can push in transition, make a spot-up 3, attack off the dribble and make plays on the move.”
