UNT's Tony Mitchell receives praise at LeBron’s camp

[Harry]

Tony Mitchell already had one snapshot of himself and LeBron James from the last time he attended the Miami Heat forward’s summer skills academy a few years ago while in high school.

The North Texas sophomore picked up another shot last week, after his initial appearance at the LeBron James Skill Academy as a college player.

All indications are his performance the second time around ensured he gained a lot more than a memento, including momentum heading into his sophomore season and the 2013 NBA Draft.

Mitchell was universally praised for his performance at the event that concluded Monday in Las Vegas, where the 6-8 forward came away with the feeling that he accomplished what he had hoped to all along.

“It went well,” Mitchell said Tuesday after returning to UNT. “Everyone was playing hard and competing. I played against top competition, and I think I played alright. I thought I did well working with the coaches.”

Mitchell earned his invitation to James’ camp through his performance in the Amare Stoudemire Skill Academy earlier this summer that featured the top 14 post players in college basketball.

“Everyone has been able to get comfortable with the new staff. We are going to try to crack the top 25.

“It is about to get exciting. We have the total package right now.”

Get it Tony!
