Message: [QUOTE="SECbbfan24, post: 3019611, member: 9360"] Mitchell is phenomenal rebounder and a tough defender. She will give you a lot of extra possessions. She moves well on her feet and takes a lot of charges. Honestly at UCONN or anywhere, you couldn't ask for a better bench player to give you rebounding, toughness on defense and energy. I do think she would be better if she had better players to take some of the slack off her. Every team literally put all the eggs into her basket and force everyone else on our team to beat them. Offensively I do think she could polish up a lot more but I think the lack of it is because of how LSU uses her. They always have her so buried deep in the post next to the basket. She is very capable of hitting outside shots and 3's. Ball handling IMO is something she could improve on a bit. Personally, I am not fond of how LSU has developed post players. She could be much better elsewhere with legit coaching in that department. Nikki Fargas is very guard oriented and thats what her niche is. Our post play has been suspect over the years. Not very skilled offensively. They rebound and get into foul trouble. [/QUOTE]
