Must extend his shooting range

Summary:

Mitchell Saxen is a skilled, mobile big man that currently plays for Saint Mary’s. He is a skilled scorer that can take slower footed big men off the dribble and can make plays in the paint to help his team on both ends of the floor, but he will need to add a reliable outside shot to his arsenal. Currently, he is a borderline second round candidate for the 2025 draft.
