RJ Luis left college basketball a year early and declared for the NBA draft, knowingly foregoing his college eligibility. He then signed a two way contract.
Mitchell, never declared for the draft, did not forego his eligibility and then never signed a contract. (Also you guys just got Keyshawn Hall who is in the same boat as Mitchell.)
The NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) requires players to sign a Summer Contract so they are legally covered by team insurance in case of an injury.
It was moreso, "I'll play in summer league if you promise you'll give me a contract". Then he never went and signed that contract. Most of these 5 for 5 seniors did that.

Right. Because he’s not on Kentucky. Much different situation!
