Maine Celtics

He was-- he did a good job running the show there.

Um, so I think most of those other guys are gonna go up to Maine and, and be a part of the Maine Celtics next season.

Aiden Gray will be a second year there, um, most likely, unless they get picked up somewhere else.

And, and maybe I'm wrong, maybe Devin Carter doesn't get the two-way, but I do think he, he feels like the front runner right now, not just because of his background and his play tonight, but also just the opportunity.

to play in that, in that manner.

And, I'd have to imagine he'll, if he does make this team, say we start the year in Maine and work through there and get used to everything that they want him to do.

But it was impressive to just see him with the cast that was around him, make stuff happen.

And if they can, seize on that charade and take advantage of that skill set while acclimating it to their system and the way they want to play because there aren't going to be many opportunities for him let's face it to go out there and just take the ball and go you know when he's when this team's full so where is he going to fit in where is he going to find himself we know he struggled with the shot at the start of his career we know that he didn't quite find a role out there in sacramento but this is a team this is a franchise now a couple years running that has been able to find roles jobs Even if it's just defense and rebounding for him to go out there and make an impact.

I mean, these are late first round picks, second round undrafted guys, all coming together and beating an NBA starting rotation.

So the first step for him is going to be committing to that.

And is that going to Maine? Is that sitting on the bench most nights? Is that just going to work behind the scenes? I don't, my gut tells me he's not going to be part of this rotation, this team initially, but can he work his way there? I mean, if you remember to not to make the Cata comparison again, but he pretty much sat on the bench, played in Maine that whole championship season when he arrived.

And then year two plays a

Now, where does he ultimately fit in on this team? I don't think that third guard spot is a high threshold to meet and he can get there.

I'd have to imagine he'll start in Maine if he's on a two way just to get consistent opportunity.

But things can change fast if Conley falters and doesn't prove to be a reliable option there.

If they need some depth guard minutes, if knock on wood, an injury occurs, he could suddenly be a significant part of this team while not having a roster spot yet at this moment.

He was-- he did a good job running the show there.

I, I don't, I don't think Mazzulla will even open the door for Mitchell to leapfrog Ugo or Sharman.

I think Mazzulla's going into this year saying, "Nope, Ugo and Sharman, those are my guys," and will stash Mitchell in Maine.

However, you could argue, and I would argue, and I think everybody would agree with this, Mitchell is more NBA ready than Sinack.

So it's kind of interesting because the opportunity for minutes might be there for Sinack but is unlikely going to be there for Mitchell.

I, I think he's too raw.

I, I don't think he's ready to play NBA minutes, especially right out of the gates his rookie season.

So even if Sinack plays pretty well in the preseason, I think the Celtics are going to stash him up in Maine.

Mitchell, who's more NBA ready, he's just not, I don't think, gonna be able to touch the floor very often this preseason.

Those are my guys.

And we'll stash Mitchell in Maine.

However, you could argue, and I would argue, and I think everybody would agree with this.

Mitchell is more NBA ready than snack.

I think he's too raw.

I don't think he's ready to play NBA minutes, especially right out of the gates, his rookie season.

So even if Sanak plays pretty well in the preseason, I think the Celtics are going to stash him up in Maine.

Mitchell, who's more NBA ready, he's just not, I don't think, going to be able to touch the floor very often this preseason.
