All anyone can seemingly focus on when it comes to the breakout campaign of OKC Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell are the positives.
Frankly, whether it's him holding down the secondary scoring fort on the league's top team while All-NBA forward Jalen Williams was sidelined, or the sheer fact that he's earning less than a ton of rookie-scale players while doing so, such narratives are hard to ignore.
However, coinciding with these exciting storylines is the harsh reality that Mitchell's strong play could easily be the reason his tenure with the Thunder could be capped at only a few short years.
