Along with a rejuvanated Pau Gasol joining the Bulls frontcourt last summer, the Bulls were able to buy out the remaining part of Nikola Mirotic’s contract with Real Madrid Baloncesto and bring the former Spanish League MVP over to the NBA.
Mirotic didn’t disappoint in his rookie campaign, averaging 10.2 points per contest, along with a 55.6 true shooting percentage and 17.9 player efficiency rating.
Despite last year’s top overall pick Andrew Wiggins winning the 2014-15 NBA Rookie of the Year Award, Mirotic improved throughout the latter part of the season and showed he can be a valuable weapon for the Bulls in the future.
