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 |

Mirotic shows off some post moves in this video. If he has some legitimate post moves to go with his range and high BBIQ then he'd be the perfect compliment to Noah and Rose. I'm excited about Mirotic, I think he could be an All-Star (in the David West mold, so not a perennial) if all pans out well and he maximizes his skills. Edit: Can we not post videos on this board? |

I am going to try to figure out the settings. |
