How's Nikola "Better than Dirk" Mirotic doing these days?

Post by l3bron »

Dirk was putting up 25 points and 10 rebounds per game at 58% TS% at 24 years old.

It's safe to assume Nasty Niko is putting up close or better numbers right?

Porzingis who's 4 years younger is already better than Mirotic.

He's averaging 12 and 6 for the season but how does Dirk tie into that?

Same here. I picked him up off of waivers, then promptly dropped his Zaza Pachulia playing ass for the constant eggs he'd lay. Guy is mentally fragile or something.

He suffered a concussion the other day.

That doesn't excuse the other 15 games.

11.7 ppg, 6.3 rpg, .384 fg%, .341 from three. He doesn't play defense and apparently can't shoot either, even when given a huge opportunity in a starting role. Very disappointing.

He's got the same production as Omri Casspi but is doing it much less efficiently.

He has been struggling of late. All of them have been. I'm surprised that they haven't lost more games due to the poor shooting.

That doesn't excuse the other 15 games.

11.7 ppg, 6.3 rpg, .384 fg%, .341 from three. He doesn't play defense and apparently can't shoot either, even when given a huge opportunity in a starting role. Very disappointing.

He's got the same production as Omri Casspi but is doing it much less efficiently.
Unfortunately, he's looked a lot like Andrea Bargnani this year: tall stiff who can't play defense and is billed as a shooter...only he can't really shoot. All that said, he was the 23rd pick in the draft-- most of those guys don't pan out, anyway (it's not like CHI blew a lottery pick on the guy).

He can shoot pretty good. His shot selection is the big issue with him. Too often, even last season, he's takes far too many ill-advised shots as well as getting too 3pt happy.

I don't know how high his ceiling is but he definitely has not reached it yet.

I compared him to Ersan Ilysova and bulls fans got all pissed off. :noidea: I actually think it's not a bad comparison, although i'd give the edge to Ersan at this point as being the better player.
