Tony Mitchell: A fresh start

[Harry]

Why a fresh start benefits Tony Mitchell

Mitchell played only 79 minutes last season. Just four players who were on an NBA contract all season (excluding those who missed the entire year due to injury) played less:

Ricky Ledo

Robert Covington

Carrick Felix

Keith Bogans

The last Pistons rookie to play so little? Walter Sharpe.

There was just no trust with Mitchell. Mitchell was drafted as a project, and his minimal playing time though perhaps not to that degree was no surprise.

Now, he has a chance to impress a staff that has few preconceived notions about him.

Did he work hard enough last year? Was he focused enough?

"Not possessing an impressive reputation"...... What did he do in Detroit to have that said about him?

It's not looking good for Mitchell. He has riden the bench so far during the pre season while multiple power forwards are getting decent minutes off the bench. Hopefully he can change his attitude and land somewhere where they need an athletic spark!

Pistons cut former Pitt big man Aaron Gray today to get their roster to 15. TM looks safe for a 2nd year

Good to hear. Hopefully he can see some nba minutes and not be solely placed in the d league.

Hopefully he will finally grow up....something that we could have used when he was here.
