North Texas’s old-school rebounding wrecking ball
Tony Mitchell’s North Texas profile points to a frontcourt player with serious glass-eating instincts and interior impact; in his 2011-12 season, he averaged 15.3 points, 10.9 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game, earned Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and first-team all-conference honors, and was praised for a rare wingspan/vertical combo that made NBA scouts pay attention. His value is obvious if you want toughness, rim protection and second-chance chaos; the big question is whether you need a polished modern stretch big or a force who changes games with energy, physicality and presence.
