He is really starting to show his class. Three solid games including matching his career high in the win over the Toronto Raptors on March 20. He scored 29 points but was a bit off from 3pt range.

@PepeAgain10259 жыл бұрын
Its unfair this guy is a rookie. Also I love how he takes advantage of his match-ups. Uses his speed and range on bigs and size and power in the post. Helps that you have noah and gasol with some nice high low post passing action too.
@trueemotionofapoet77749 жыл бұрын
If he only can get some consistency on his shot he has the overall game plus CRAZY POTENTIAL he can truly be great he is much quicker than anyone would expect someone his size to be there is a rookie wall but he will have a great career the bulls made a great choice with Nikola Mirotic.
@dimi9669 жыл бұрын
I think that he just needs to get used to the NBA 3-point line. In a season or two his shooting will be elite.
@stutterbox229 жыл бұрын
Gotta remember that he's not a traditional rookie. He's already a mature player. He's 24 and has been playing professional basketball for s couple years now. I don't think he has crazy potential but I do think with a little added bulk he can be a 22-7 type of guy
@dimi9669 жыл бұрын
He absolutely does not need to add weight. He is faster than 80% of the PFs in the league. Why should he lose that advantage just to add mass? That same weight lifting ruined Kukoc's style of play. Imagine prime Andre Igoudala, with an added killer 3-point shot. That was Toni Kukoc while he played for Jugoplastika.
@stutterbox229 жыл бұрын
dimi966 added bulk means muscle. The guy is 210 pounds. Adding a little muscle won't slow him down. It will only help him in rebounding and creating his own shot down low. Stats prove that when he doesn't catch and shoot his fg%plummets. He needs to add a little weight it's just a fact. He's to slow to play SF therefore needs to add maybe 15-20 which isn't a lot. Look at a guy like Garnett. He came into the league weighing 215 pounds. He played most of his career around 240. You can't bang down low weighing 210 pounds. It's almost a certainty that he will get injured frequently ala Anthony Davis
@gericurl08829 жыл бұрын
dimi966 I have to disagree. Tony was the 2nd or 3rd best player in the NBA while he was playing with the Bulls. This sounds sacrilegious, but if you look closely at the Lakers vs. Bulls game. with Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Bryant, and O'Neal, Toni was the best player on the floor. Too bad he played with Hall of Famers playing the same position.

@staxstix9 жыл бұрын
TIKI K people forget that dirk had handles and speed too when he was young. played like a 7-foot guard in his first years in the nba - for better or worse. it's easy to fall into deceived comparisons when you're looking at a 35-year-old dirk. but mirotic is closer to dirk than bargnani or all the other one's that were given the "next dirk"-label and his game is beautiful to watch. still has quite some wholes in his game, though, that he hides nicely by not doing anything he can't do. needs to complete his game more if he wants to step out of being a role player and become a starter, i'm excited to see whether he can do that.
@kingtutt8809 жыл бұрын

Reliable shot, could attack the rim, could blow by with ease against bigmen, great pump fakes, spin moves and a couple of postmoves even. Now he's just standing behind the 3pt line and takes mostly contested or deep 3s and his percentage is terrrible.
