Playing in his fourth NBA season, Mitchell began the campaign in Toronto following a three-year stint in Sacramento. He wasn't able to find his footing with the Raptors, as he averaged a mere 6.3 points, 4.6 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 0.7 steals on 43.4 percent shooting in 24.5 minutes per contest. A mid-season trade to Miami revitalized his fantasy appeal, as he appeared in 30 regular-season games with averages of 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals while shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 44.7 percent from beyond the arc. The Heat re-signed him for two years and $24 million, but the rest of their offseason was pretty quiet other than the acquisition of Norman Powell. The Heat seem comfortable with Tyler Herro and Powell as their starting backcourt, setting up Mitchell to potentially be the first guard off the bench. Terry Rozier is still around, but he's on the trade block, and the Heat have seemingly lost patience with him after a dreadful 2024-25 season. That said, Herro is expected to miss the onset of the season due to offseason foot surgery, which positions Mitchell as the team's most likely candidate to open the new year as their starting point guard. Mitchell is a decent source of steals and assists with a trickle of three-pointers, but it's fair to question if he'll see enough usage to warrant a late-round pick, even with a projected uptick in minutes while Herro is sidelined. Plus, based on career shooting averages, Mitchell's splits in Miami last season look unsustainable.
