The other main piece for the future that could give the Bulls a shot in the arm.
Some blurbs from Chad Ford before the actual draft pick. QUOTE On talent, Mirotic is a likely late lottery to mid-first round pick. But concerns about his contract abound. NBA scouts I spoke with believe it may be years before he can come to the NBA after he agreed to a long extension with Real Madrid that runs through 2016. He's a got a massive buyout on top of that. QUOTE Positives: •Crafty forward •Great size, length for his position •Can play both the 3 and the 4 •Very good shooter with range on his jump shot •Can put the ball on the floor and get to the basket •Quick first step •Excellent passer •High basketball IQ, fundamentally sound •Is an aggressive player on both ends of the ball •Can defend multiple positions Negatives: •Lacks explosive athleticism •Needs to add strength •Not an elite rebounder •Contract issues may keep him from playing in NBA soon Draft Express Profile Link with a lot of good info/analysis Lastly, a quick YouTube highlight clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_orUsMiW4XY&feature=fvst |

It's a nice video, but the way he's playing seems much more like a 3 to me...except I don't see any indication that he can guard the 3. He shows a few post moves in the video, but I'm not sure that he has much experience playing inside if the video and others like it are any indication of his playing style. In the NBA, what PF's are near the three point line often enough to shoot that many threes? It's not clear to me from the videos that he will contribute enough on offense if he isn't getting outside shots. Seems like he can be a nice role player, but his defense is unknown and he's not a conventional American-style post player which makes his quest for All-Star status very much an uphill battle. Dirk Nowitski says hi I don't think he'll be Dirk but he certainly has the same skill set, I'll gladly take a lesser version of him. As Q said he's a perfect match for Jo and Rose. |

It's really hard to predict that someone will be able to be Dirk Nowitzki. Dirk has made a career of just making highly guarded shots. It's like saying you know this player will become Larry Bird, when you know the odds are better that he's Adam Morrison |
