If Mitch were to be traded I'd rather it'd be for a proven commodity. I think Lamelo has the highest ceiling in the draft but he has bust potential too and I think his growth is gonna depend in part on where he's drafted, and face it we tend to bring the worst out of young players

The warchest is too barren to make risky moves like that imo, but if the Knicks do trade Mitch to move up then they should try and swing a trade for someone on the cheap like Mo Bamba, or draft Jalen Smith or Daniel Oturu later in the draft ( although I don't think any of them will have the impact that Mitch is capable of defensively).
Rim runners might not be the wave right now, but I can't sit here and devalue the rarity of what players like Mitch, Capela, Gobert and Deandre Jordan bring to the table ( and I'm referencing the level they perform at too, not just their skill sets). You can find a guy that's cut from the same mold as Mitch sure, but it doesn't mean he'll ever perform at the same level that Mitch is capable of. The combined athleticism and size of all the aforementioned players is hard to find, and I think you can say the same of Robert Williams too tbh. I was high as fukk on Williams during the draft a couple of years ago and I would've drafted him in the lottery if I was a gm( I stated so in some posts before that draft, and I had him on bunch of my fantasy teams afterwards as a sleeper pick if you wanna count that as an endorsement

). Not only is Williams more athletic than 90% of the bigs who are currently in the league, you'd have to go back to someone like Alonzo Morning to find that type of standing reach and wingspan on a player his height. When it comes to young, strictly rim-running bigs, I think Williams and Mitch are in a class of their own in terms of raw talent, their issues lie in between their ears tbf.
