"Ajay is one of the toughest dudes in the league," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "Mentally, he's never shaken. He's never afraid of the moment. Ajay could be having the worst day ever, and you would never know. He's so solid. Having a teammate like that makes you more confident by just knowing that no matter what, you know what you're gonna get from him. The ball might not always go in, but you know what you're getting from Ajay every time he steps on the floor. "Playing with a guy like that, it's beautiful. It's perfect. It's exactly what you want out of a teammate, and then you throw in the talent level. He just knows how to play basketball."

Oklahoma City needed another ballhandler. Ajay Mitchell hasn’t let go of the role. The offense has treaded water when Mitchell leads lineups that include neither Gilgeous-Alexander nor Williams. Mitchell has progressed from just an instant scorer, too. OKC will place him next to Gilgeous-Alexander, which gives the MVP help on the second side of the court. The Thunder are outscoring opponents by 19 points per 100 possessions when those two play together, according to Cleaning the Glass.
