But at the same time, if the Utah rookie guard can learn on-court lessons from Kobe Bryant, is it a bad thing?
The retired Lakers star (fresh off an Oscar win) is doing even more work in the film room lately, which has taken the shape of “Details,” a basketball film analysis show on ESPN Plus, a subscription streaming service. In the 23-minute video, Bryant breaks down Mitchell’s game from a first-person perspective. The common critiques that arise are that Mitchell needs to catch the ball closer to the rim, he has to be more physical with the defense of Trevor Ariza, and he has to be looking to make higher passes to his big men.
