Baby, if you’ve ever wondered, wondered whatever became of me….
Thought you were going to cut down on your carousing.

Don't think it's officially official yet, but chatter made it all the way out to my neck of the woods so I'm confident he's the third man. Then again, that might not mean muchI was out all night, has Lee been confirmed?

Mitchell is quite literally the perfect player for the defense Pitino wants to play. He can switch on to anybody and guard 1-5. Him and Zuby next to each other is an absurdly good defensive combo at the 4 and 5.
That said, he is a bit of an odd fit offensively, as others have said. Him, Hopkins and Zuby are going to have to play together for some stretches to get the minutes they need. That's going to be a weird trio on offense as neither Mitchell nor Hopkins are 3s. Maybe Rick plans to have Mitchell play some 5 and while he's athletic enough for it I don't know if he has the beef to battle with guys like Reed, Freeman and Sorber consistently.
My head is spinning trying to figure out how these minutes would be distributed if Mitchell, Sellers, and Jackson all do come aboard. Again, not complaining at all as you don't turn down talent like this and having depth is critical to withstand injuries (we were moderately lucky in the injury department this season) but I would be very interested to see what Rick's plan would be to mix and match these lineups.

So Mitchell, Sellers, Possibly Lee and Jackson. Rick slacking on the “Fab 5” revival.Don't think it's officially official yet, but chatter made it all the way out to my neck of the woods so I'm confident he's the third man. Then again, that might not mean much
Sounds like it is from Moose’s comment. I heard yesterday they were working on Lee’s visit, so I guess it was nailed down. This is really a warp speed process starting w Hopkins and Sanon out of the gate. Rick is not f’n around.
Sounds like the perfect complimentary player to Zuby/Bryce and all the shooters we will have. Need someone with this skill set to help Zuby on D and get us easy baskets on cuts and fast breaks. We are losing a ton on the defensive end without Scott and a lot in transition and athleticism with RJ and Smith gone. If we get this kid I’d expect him to play a ton and be a glue guy.
Puzzling, yet welcomed problem to have if this comes to fruition. I’ll default to the often used “Trust Rick” approach, but like you am very interested to get a sense of his plan.
