TMitch will get a look in the association sooner or later with his shooting percentages and rebounding ability. Good for him.

Wasn't he originally drafted in the NBA?

No, he was picked up by Clevland and played summer league in Vegas with them. I guess he was cut after that. Happey to see he is doing well.

No he was not, signed by the Cavs later on.

I'm surprised to see that he's not shooting 3's anymore.

no, i believe after the draft he signed as a free agent with the Cavaliers and was then waived by them

he never had NBA range on his 3.

But I am pleased that he is shooting 53%

He's tearing it up, scoring: 25, 26 & 28 in his last 3 games.

Good article about him. This was a couple of weeks ago, so its before his scoring outbursts the last few games.

Tasmin Mitchell knows who and what he is.



"I'm what they call a tweener," he said. "I'm a three-man with a four-man body."


I think he said this wrong. He is a four-man in a three-man's body.

yeah, a 3 man with a 4 man's body is a good thing usually. a 4 man with a 3 man's body is a bad thing.

I've said this ever since they played each other a few years ago, Tasmin is better than Quincy Pondexter(hornets first rd pick) they're both tweener's and have the same game but always thought Taz was the better player. Pondexter is struggling to find his role on the team, i think Taz can be just as valueable as Quincy.

What's that tall kid from the bahamas doing these days? His name slips my mind but left lsu to go to la tech and i think he was drafted.

So is one lens purple and the other yellow? Or are they like purple and gold stripes?

i think Taz might be the smartest player we've had in a long time. After he got hurt, he had to play below the rim and lost a lot of the athleticism that made him a mcdonalds all american, but he's has an uncanny ability to be very productive playing smart and fundamental basketball. that can go a long way once you get to the pros and pure skill alone can't get it done for the most part. good to see him doing so well. a 54% shooting percentage is awesome in any league. 80% from the line ain't too shabby either
