The Arizona State basketball team is better with forward Mickey Mitchell on the court.
No, that isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact. In the two games that he has seen significant action, Sunday vs. Vanderbilt (+13) and Tuesday against Longwood (+27), ASU is +40 when the 6-foot-7 forward is on the court.
His contributions don’t always light up the stat sheet, scoring 20 total points in 56 minutes of action this season, but Mitchell contributions come in multiple areas all over the court.
The Ohio State transfer, who was forced to sit out the Devils’ first eight games due to the NCAA transfer rules, was touted as a great passer, but with the quartet of great guards that ASU has, Mitchell is showing off his plethora of skills.
