“I have worked towards becoming a professional all my life and now the time has come,” Mitchell said in a press release from the club. “I am moving to a great location and will start my professional career as a Lion in Braunschweig. I am very excited and at the same time grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Lions. I am looking forward to showing everyone what I am capable of and want to make my contribution to a successful season.”
The 6-foot-9, 230-pound Mitchell played in 27 games (24 starts) last season. He grabbed a team-high 7.2 rebounds to go along with 10.7 points and 2.6 assists in 30.2 minutes per contest.
With a strong performance this upcoming season in Germany, maybe we will see the talented forward get another chance to make an NBA roster as a two player next season.
