4. Mitchell’s Improved Jump-Shot

Yes, everyone knows how athletic Mitchell is and how well he can dunk the basketball. However, he needs to show he can shoot a lot better than he did as Freshman.

Yes, even your team too Duke fans.

I honestly think that Mitchell will become a 1st team All-ACC player if he can knock down 2-3 three pointers per game.

When you combine his ability to play defense, shoot, and drive in the lane, you will see a side of him that we haven’t seen before.
