The Nuggets chose Mitchell and sent him away. Who was the one who changed?

In the 2017 draft, the Nuggets selected Mitchell with the 13th pick in the first round.

Immediately afterwards, the Nuggets sent Mitchell to the Jazz in exchange for the 24th overall pick Tyler Lydon, and Jazz's third-year forward Trey Lyles

Let's talk about Leiden first. This 2.08-meter inside only stayed with the Nuggets for two seasons, playing a total of 26 games, which combined no more than 10 minutes.

Let's talk about Lyles.

He was selected by the Jazz in the first round of 2015. To be honest, it was surprising that he was selected at such a high position, because he only played for one year at Kentucky, averaging 8.7 points and 5.2 rebounds per 23 minutes, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 14%

However, in the rookie season, he performed well, averaging 6.3 points and 3.8 rebounds per 17 minutes, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 38%. In the second year, he continued this performance. After coming to Denver, he still played the role of the surprise soldier. He didn't play much time, but he was very efficient, had a strong fighting spirit, and had considerable explosive scores.

In 2019, the contract expired and he signed with the Spurs. In the 2021-22 season, Lyles performed well in the first 20 games of the Spurs, averaging 10.5 points and 5.6 rebounds in 22 minutes per game, but the Spurs then sent him to the Pistons before the end of the trading day. After the end of the season, he signed with the Kings and has been in Sacramento until now. He has been the marginal figure in the main rotation, an ordinary soldier.
