UNLV freshman forward DeShawn Mitchell announced that he would leave the Runnin’ Rebels to find a team that will offer him more playing time. Mitchell averaged 1.6 points and 0.8 rebounds in 5.4 minutes per game this past season. In a university press release, Mitchell indicated that he appreciated the work of coach Lon Kruger but needed to find a school that could give him a bigger role.
“I really enjoyed my year at UNLV and wish the coaches and players nothing but success in the future,” Mitchell said. “It is important for me to look for a situation that will provide me with a more significant role and more playing time.”
