And that shooting slump has come after hurting his hamstring. And last year he shot just 30% from 3 in 3 games against Memphis. This year he was 1-9. So far their physical defense has given Mitchell fits. So small sample, injured leg, and a tough schedule against some tough defenses.

But the schedule isn't going to get much easier for him until after January. I wonder if Utah needs to sit him another game on this long road trip to make sure that leg is right.
