During these early stages of the 2025-26 season, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell has been turning heads with his sensational production.
With the likes of Jalen Williams (wrist) and Chet Holmgren (back) both missing substantial time through this point due to injuries, the sophomore has stepped up in a major way to make up for their absence in the scoring department.
The results have been truly remarkable, as Mitchell finds himself lighting it up with 17.3 points per game, the third-best mark on the team.
However, perhaps lost in the excitement surrounding his clearly improved bucket-getting abilities is a particular skill set that proves he's both an extremely well-rounded baller and, more importantly, a sure-fire member of this Thunder core moving forward.
