Mitchell chipped in 20 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell had a hot hand off the bench in the win, knocking down three of four attempts from beyond the arc en route to his second game of 20-plus points on the season. The rookie guard has been inconsistent throughout the campaign, but he has been given ample opportunity to succeed, frequently seeing minutes in the 20s and 30s. Mitchell is averaging 9.4 points, 3.4 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers in 23 games thus far.

Mitchell racked up 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-101 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell had plenty of playing time off the bench in this one, and he scored in double figures for the second time in the last three games. During that span, he's averaged 10.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 26.0 minutes per contest.

Mitchell posted five points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 26 minutes during Friday's 108-89 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell fumbled his way through 26 minutes of sub-par basketball Friday as the Kings succumbed to the Raptors. It's been an indifferent start to Mitchell's career, as he's flashed his defensive upside while also battling to be a consistent offensive producer. The trajectory of the team is likely going to impact his fantasy value as we progress through the season. If the Kings are to fall out of the playoff race, there is a chance his role increases, at which time he could at least move into the standard league discussion.

Mitchell closed with 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt), three rebounds and six assists across 26 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 136-117 loss to San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell scored 22 points in his third game of the season and while many believed that was just an outlier, the rookie has begun to turn heads with his play of late. He has scored in double digits in five of his last six contests and is flashing enough offensive upside to become a streaming pick in most formats, especially if Tyrese Haliburton (back) remains out.

Mitchell is averaging 12.6 points, 4.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 28.0 minutes across the past five games.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie quickly became a staple of coach Luke Walton's rotation. He's a defender first, but he's shown offensive upside lately. Unfortunately, his defensive skill doesn't translate to steals and blocks, so fantasy managers aren't getting a bump there. Still, he's worth a flier in deeper leagues.

Mitchell is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason finale, Franklin Cartoscelli of Sports 1140 KHTK reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell got an opportunity in the starting five Monday with Tyrese Haliburton out for rest. The rookie led the Kings in scoring with 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt) to go along with four assists, two rebounds and a steal in 32 minutes. There likely isn't a spot for him in the starting lineup to begin the season, but he will certainly have a significant role.

Mitchell is in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason contest against Portland, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie will get a chance to play alongside the Kings' normal starters in De'Aaron Fox, Harrison Barnes, Maurice Harkless and Richaun Holmes. Mitchell will likely start the year playing behind Fox and Tyrese Haliburton at the point-guard position.

Mitchell finished Wednesday night's preseason win over the Clippers with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie out of Baylor came off the bench while De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton occupied the two starting guard spots. This is likely the role in which Mitchell will begin the season, but it's possible the Kings could experiment with some three-guard lineups throughout the year. While Mitchell is undersized, he enters the league with a sterling reputation on the defensive end. He may not be drafted in many season-long leagues, but Mitchell is a name to monitor over the first few weeks of the season.

Mitchell was named co-MVP of the 2021 NBA Summer League along with the Nets' Cameron Thomas, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings won the Summer League championship, and Mitchell showed off his impressive two-way ability. His numbers -- 10.8 points, 5.8 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 24.8 minutes -- weren't especially gaudy, but he demonstrated that he's capable of fueling wins. Heading into 2021-22, Mitchell should be a strong option off the bench for Sacramento, though the team isn't exactly short on guards with De'Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton.
