ABOUT MITCHELL: A very lengthy and tall player with a great wing-span that can grab loose balls as well as swat away shots near the basket ... A tough defender that loves to register blocked shots ... Will see a lot of time at the power forward position for the `Cats after playing some forward and center last season ... Should produce multiple match-up problems for defenders with his ballhandling ability and height ... Can knock down the 15-footer with ease ... Will probably sit out the first part of the season with a slight foot injury ... Will provide heavily in the post alongside John Anderson and Aaron Nelson ... A very athletic young man with plenty of talent that should show this season.
