The maturity is still good! The Thunder s substitute rookie plays easily against the Nuggets substitute?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G2, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who suffered a final victory in G1, outscored the Denver Nuggets with a advantage of 149 to 106. After this game, the Thunder also tied the total score of this round of series to 1-1, and both sides returned to the same starting line.

In this game, the Thunder's substitute backcourt star Ajay Mitchell rarely got a lot of playing time. Mitchell played 13 minutes and 17 seconds in the game, made 4 of 7 shots, and 2 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and scored 10 points and 1 steal. There was also 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +2. Because he lost the suspense early on the game, Mitchell, who had enough playing time, was able to fully demonstrate his characteristics. Mitchell got many mobile phone calls, and he also showed his comprehensive scoring ability. He also seized the opportunity and got a lot of points. In addition, his performance on the defensive end is quite standard and there are no too many loopholes. Mitchell has fully demonstrated his talents through this game. He has a very good effect on the court. Facing the Nuggets' bench, Mitchell looks really a player with great maturity, and he can also play in this level of game.

In the NBA regular season this season, Mitchell made a total of 36 appearances in 82 games, averaging 16.6 minutes per game, averaging 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, shooting percentage of 49.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 82.9%. In the playoffs, Mitchell played 3 games in the first 6 games, averaging 10 minutes of playing time, averaging 5.3 points, 0.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.3 steals, 0.3 turnovers and 1.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 46.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 50%, and free throw shooting percentage of 50%.

Mitchell's performance in the regular season was once eye-catching, and he also entered the team's rotation lineup for a time. However, as the season deepened, Mitchell's performance gradually became dull, and his playing time gradually began to decrease. In the playoffs, Mitchell was unable to enter the team's rotation lineup in previous games and gain more trust. In this game, Mitchell rarely gained trust, and he also proved with his performance that he is still a player with good personal abilities. Mitchell is just a rookie after all, and it seems that his personal abilities are good among substitutes. If he can continue to accumulate experience, maybe he will find his own position in the Thunder in the future?
