Ajay Mitchell, the Thunder’s breakout third-year guard, is poised for a bigger role after Lu Dort’s trade — and he’s ready to prove his worth. Despite missing key games last season due to injuries, Mitchell averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists while still earning Sixth Man of the Year buzz. He lit up the playoffs with nearly 19 points per game in sweeps against Phoenix and the Lakers — only to be sidelined again by a calf strain. Now fully focused on rehab, he’s skipping EuroBasket to ensure peak health for the NBA season. If he stays healthy, expect a major leap — and maybe even another shot at Sixth Man or Most Improved Player honors.
