Willie Mitchell has averaged 22:48 minutes per game after missing the 2013 campaign due to a knee injury. "Yeah, it is encouraging," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "Let's touch wood on it, but I think he's gotten better and been really solid." Mitchell won't end up being owned in many standard leagues as he doesn't do a ton offensively, but he's a big part of the Kings' defense.
