If Nikola Mirotic had a chance of starting before Mike Dunleavy‘s latest health setback, his hopes have probably risen a lot more since then. Mirotic is an interesting player, because he can play multiple positions and offer great floor-spacing. The Chicago Bulls and new head coach Fred Hoiberg would be wise to use Nikola’s skills to their advantage, and the second-year player should see a lot of minutes.
Now, whether Mirotic starts at power forward or small forward remains to be determined, but he should get time at both positions if the new coaching staff has looked at the tape from last year.
