Mitchell's rise is one of Oklahoma City's better recent bets. A 38th pick in 2024 out of UC Santa Barbara, the Belgian guard arrived with little fanfare and won a title as a rookie on the 2024-25 Thunder. His second season is where the leap showed: across 2025-26 he averaged around 14 points, 3.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds on 48.7% shooting, growing from end-of-bench flier into a trusted rotation ball-handler. What stands out is his change of pace and finishing craft in the paint for a guard his size, plus enough playmaking to run bench units. Signed to a team-friendly deal in the summer of 2025, he gives a deep roster cheap, reliable minutes in the backcourt.

Did You Know?
Mitchell was born in Brussels, Belgium — part of a growing wave of European-born players who develop in American high school and college basketball before reaching the NBA.
His Big West Conference scoring record at UC Santa Barbara exceeded marks set by players who had long professional careers — testimony to his prolific and efficient three-year output.
He and 2024 classmate Nikola Topic joined OKC together, giving the Thunder developmental pieces from Belgium and Serbia in the same draft — a testament to OKC's international scouting reach.
OKC selected Mitchell 38th overall, continuing their pattern of extracting value throughout the draft rather than relying only on lottery picks for their talent base.
