The 1st time I saw Money Mitch, he was shooting 3s.....euro stepping.....and shooting jumpers off a jab step move. Then when I watched him play full court, everything he did on defense looked easy to him. On offense he kept pointing up....looking for lobs. Sounds familiar.
But during the beginning of every workout, he was shooting 3s. This isn't a rumor, this is what I saw with my own eyes...since we played ball at the same gym, b4 he was drafted. And hes a million feet tall, so it's hard to hide. Never had a crowd around him so it was easy to talk to him. Plus the gym is full of ****y overseas or wanna be ballers.
No matter what position u play, this generstion all want and will shoot 3s. Hes just a humble and coachable kid, he did what the coach asked him to do last season. And will probably do the same next season, while working on that jumper in the off season.
As a fan we want him to work on post moves. But that's like putting a square into a round hole. He is what he is....and he was what I saw in person. My guess hes not going to change much....except get stronger and develop more confidence...I see nothing wrong with that. If we want an old school post player, gotta draft or find one. But the main goal is to keep mitch motivated. From talking to him, basketball is not his first love....hes a geek that loves science.....which surprised me. Hes just blessed to be 7feet tall.
