Ajay Mitchell is turning into a steal for the Oklahoma City Thunder, already their second-highest playoff scorer with 15+ points per game — and he’s making just $2.85M this season on a contract that could look like pocket change if he keeps climbing. With Lu Dort gone and Cason Wallace stepping up defensively, Mitchell’s next leap could push him into a starting role — and other teams are already eyeing him. The Thunder’s gamble on him could pay off big, but holding onto a rising star like this will require serious investment. The future of Mitchell and OKC’s roster is about to get very interesting.
