http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/142887/mickey-mitchell

Rated as the #2 player in the Class of 2015.

Age: 15
Height: 6'6
Weight: 210lbs



Strengths:
He is skilled, athletic and plays very hard offensively. Mitchell's skill level, strength and athletic ability separate him from the competition. The lefty has great size. He is a great creator off the dribble and is an exceptional passer.

Weaknesses:
He can shoot with range to 17 feet but needs to improve his consistency.

Bottom Line:
The best freshman we have seen so far and that is the consensus from almost everyone. The question will be football or basketball (supposedly a big time QB).



The White LeBron?:eek:

[Punpun]

>The question will be football or basketball (supposedly a big time QB).

He will be a bust. He who doesn't specialize in college won't do shit in the major leagues.

Like the guy Brady played with in college who was a Baseball and Football star. Never amounted to anything.

[NumberSix]

Not gonna lie. Some of those passes were crisp. Looks legit.

[midatlantic09]

Why is our savior always ugly? Dirk, Griffin etc?

Hope he picks BBall would be great. When was he measured? 6'7 and 210 lbs is impressing for his age.

Griffin has a fully Black father.

[SacJB Shady]

Mickey.... MITCHELL.. :rockon:

:lol

[TheOne]

The next "the next larry bird" Adam Morrison

[Rowe]

The next "the next larry bird" Adam Morrison

But this guy isn't a shooter.

He's a legit athletic, slasher type who is working on improving his range.

He could be 6'8/240lbs by the time with those same skills by the time he's ready for the NBA Draft. Just think that he's only 15 and at 6'6/210lbs is the size of a protypical NBA SG.

[brantonli]

Good body but man that jumpshot in the second video....he needs to hire Steve Novak for a few years.

[Punpun]

Dude, Fisher is a PG and weigh 210 lbs for 6-1. He is pretty scrawny compared to a guy like Fisher.

[anthonyRandolph]

man can you guys wait until he gets to college, I honestly hate when people hype up or evaluate High School Players. Wait to see what the do in College first, Drummond looked like Shaq mixed with Magic Johnson in HS. Let the kid grow up.

[alenleomessi]

White Lebron ? More like the next Joe Alexander :lol

[theaussieguy]

lol@ all the mcdonalds/coke advertisments at a frikkin high school game. Shame on you America.

[Noof]

Dude, Fisher is a PG and weigh 210 lbs for 6-1. He is pretty scrawny compared to a guy like Fisher.
Fisher is one of the buffest point guards around though.

[Punpun]

You were right for Kobe noof. He weighes 205 lbs according to google.

[MasterDurant24]

Seen him play alot in Texas, I think he's at least 16 though as a freshman.

[midatlantic09]

To be fair, Josh McRoberts was deemed as the next great white hype coming out of high school (he was a top 3 recruit) and look at how he turned out. After 5 seasons, he has career averages of 4.6 ppg and 3.7 rpg.

That said, no real speculation about how good he'll be in the NBA should be made until he plays a season of college basketball.

[obonpaxis]

I hope he is a superstar because "Mickey Mitchell" is the ultimate throwback white guy name. He'll be sponsored by Ovaltine and Wonder Bread.

[Punpun]

Well, instead of McRoberts we got KEVIN LOVE.

[Ancient Legend]

Looks stiff with short arms.

[mentallooser]

Why can't be just be the next great player? Deeming him the next great white player does nothing but marginalize his talent into a particular group of people. Why does this still matter to anyone?

[franchise#3]

Can't teach height

[IGotACoolStory]

Why can't be just be the next great player? Deeming him the next great white player does nothing but marginalize his talent into a particular group of people. Why does this still matter to anyone?

Because guys like Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker are much better prospects. Especially Wiggins.

Therefore, to still use "the next great so and so", or whatver, you have to reduce the qualifications.

This boy is the NBA's savior; not that the association needs one right now.

Delete this racist thread.

[MeLO MvP 15]

For some reason I could really see that name getting big lol

[Rowe]

For some reason I could really see that name getting big lol

Its the perfect basketball name for either a superstar or a scrub.:lol

Rolls right off the tongue.

I'm debating using that as the name for my My Player on NBA2K12.

[jbryan1984]

Remember that video several years ago of the little guy with cornrolls? He did all these tricks like dribbling two balls between his legs at once. Anyone know how old he is now?

[JustinJDW]

Its freaking High School. Every top rated recruit looks like Lebron in High School. Wait till this cat reaches college first or at least his Senior year before hyping him up.

[blablabla]

Wow he is still only 13. Seems like forever ago he made that video.

Then he shouldn't be called the next great anything, unless someone really believes he is the next great player.

[triangleoffense]

Great white hope #4399

[Grinder]

I saw this kid play recently and I'm extremely impressed. He's very athletic and already has a lot of advanced offensive skills for a wing player. He'll almost definitely grow a few more inches and if he can retain his explosiveness and keep improving his perimeter skills, he could be the number one recruit in his class in a few years.

I know I'm being ghey by pointing this out, but damn I hope this kid gets better looking before he becomes the league's face. He's mad strange and extraterrestrial.

Dat guy got some nice insight.

My current favorite white player in the NBA. His ass better stay in Houston.

[ClutchOver9000]

Andrew Wiggins looks like Avery Johnson

[AAckley1]

That said, no real speculation about how good he'll be in the NBA should be made until he plays a season of college basketball.

Only people from outside the state of Indiana thought McBob was going to be elite. Those who grew up here, watched him get absolutely dominated by OdenxConley, Gordon, Teague etc knew he was a future bench contributor at best.

[chips93]

man can you guys wait until he gets to college, I honestly hate when people hype up or evaluate High School Players. Wait to see what the do in College first, Drummond looked like Shaq mixed with Magic Johnson in HS. Let the kid grow up.

pretty much this, at least wait till senior year. i dont bother paying attention to anybody before then

although many of drummond's issues, were sussed out in high school

even back then people questioned his toughness, and mentality

[ncrizzle]

looks very dominating for 15

[madmax17]

Looks like the new Alexey Shved.

[Smoke117]

Dude, Fisher is a PG and weigh 210 lbs for 6-1. He is pretty scrawny compared to a guy like Fisher.

Derek Fisher is a little meat head with zero athleticism.

[ncrizzle]

Looks like the new Alexey Shved.

He looks like the exact opposite

[Swaggin916]

Dude, Fisher is a PG and weigh 210 lbs for 6-1. He is pretty scrawny compared to a guy like Fisher.

And how useful it's been for his career to be built like a RB... :lol

Has range up to 17 feet? So basically pack the paint and watch him suck lmao. The highlights show him making 1 shot outside of 3 feet with no floaters or any real moves of any kind... you think this kid will just be able to get to the basket at will and finish like that? Now I will say the highlights show only what they show so maybe he does have more game but I'm not that impressed by this. It's only impressive because he's white and making flashy passes and dunking. Seems like he thinks he has some swag tho and that will take you far if you have some talent

[ILLsmak]

MEYERS LEONARD.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Cody Zeller is the next NBA superstar. Dude looks 14 yrs old and he's projected to be the #1 pick next yr :biggums:

[swi7ch]

I can't take white guys playing hoops seriously :roll:

[Punpun]

And how useful it's been for his career to be built like a RB... :lol


He's been the best PG Lakers had since he started with them. Only bested by Nash.

That's how great Fisher was.

::rockon:

[chips93]

Cody Zeller is the next NBA superstar. Dude looks 14 yrs old and he's projected to be the #1 pick next yr :biggums:

by who?

[Raz]

He's not exceptionally athletic, but he's very crafty. He really needs to get a stronger base, he took some stupid shots that a big time college shot blocker will swat out of there. Those fadeaways in the post - stupid ass shots.

I would think this guy can be great, but he needs to continue to up his skills, and he really needs to develop his shot.

[KG215]

by who?

There's not a consensus #1 pick right now but Cody Zeller, at this point, is in the discussion. A guy like Nerlens Noel may have the most upside, and Muhammad, may be more NBA redy from day one, but Zeller is in the discussion.

[swi7ch]

by who?

Clippers are interested.

[IGotACoolStory]

He's actually not your typically white guy. He needs to work on his jumper and he's very good (for his age) at attacking the basket.

[Hotlantadude81]

Uh, what?

Clippers management should have handed all three of them one of those shirts.

DAMN.

[FreezingTsmoove]

by who?

A lot of mocks. #1 pick is basically a 4 man race between Nerlens, Shabazz, Cody, and McAdoo. Nothing is guaranteed AD wasnt even the projected top pick last year it was all about Drummond. Their college play will decide it but remember that Cody is entering his Sophmore season and his extremely gifted post up skills, footwork, strength, and his already pretty good jumpshot will get better. McAdoo is going to be a sophmore too but Cody is already a better college player than him. Nerlens and Shabazz will have to adjust to college also.

I was 5'7 freshmen year of high school and 6'9 by sophomore year of college. Some people grow at different times.

awesome name, guaranteed all star

I highly doubt this for some reason..
