Nikola Mirotic Must Play Bigger Role on Evolving Chicago Bulls Next Season

The Chicago Bulls have a handful of action items on their self-improvement list this summer, and the most important one is committing more minutes to Nikola Mirotic.

The newly minted All-Rookie first-teamer is a 6'10" forward with a guard's perimeter game, a finesse player who stands out starkly against a Bulls frontcourt otherwise composed of lumbering plodders.

He was named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month in December and March, led the Bulls in on-court net rating at plus-6.1 points per 100 possessions and posted a higher true shooting percentage (55.6 percent) than any other big man on his team.
