I really like Nikola Mirotic.
No NBA big forward can really guard Mirotic when he is attacking facing the basket one-on-one. And unlike most Bulls fans, I love his pump-fakes that get him free throw attempts, rather than bricking the ball.
But, Mirotic’s inconsistent play so far may not warrant a hefty increase in any possible contract extension with Gar Forman’s team.
The Bulls have two possible first round draft picks next year and may drop Rajon Rondo next year if they get into the sweepstakes for a better core piece, given that Rondo is already showing signs that he is a huge liability matched up against good guards.
