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 |

I honestly think the Bulls need to look at getting young shot creators/shooters to man SG and SF, because Mirotic I think is the perfect weapon for Rose and fit for Noah, and I think Butler can be a great sixth man.
I feel like the Bulls have been building a "Roster Mk. II" around Rose, and it's this: PG - Rose SG - [Draftee] SF - [Draftee]/Butler PF - Mirotic/Gibson C - Noah The oldest players there would be Noah and Gibson...and they both have low NBA mileage on their legs. The way to get that SG and SF is the Bobcats pick and trading up in drafts. |
