A theme I noticed over the weekend: people writing about Nikola Mirotic, and being quite excited in doing so.
Here's our pal Kevin Ferrigan at Hardwood Paroxsym's "sophomore crush" series (wait, it wasn't about McDermott?!?)
Mirotic showed off a wide variety of offensive skills, in addition to the expected floor stretching. Nikola was able to take smaller players to the post and score easily over them. He attacked hard closeouts with a pump fake and dribble drive, a move I must note he overused to point of hilarity, but which remained largely effective.
