Fashionably late appearances to the court are nothing new for forward Mickey Mitchell.
Following a transfer to Arizona State from Ohio State, he was unable to play until December per NCAA rules. Upon returning to the floor, the junior appeared in 24 games and averaged over 22 minutes per contest to help the Sun Devils reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2013-14 season.
Expected to compete for playing time among a deep ASU roster that features the No. 11 recruiting class, according to 247Sports, Mitchell’s offseason was derailed by a back injury.
