Chicago Bulls: Nikola Mirotic

The Chicago Bulls Sixth Man of the Year candidate Nikola Mirotic is entering his third season. At 25 years old, and many years of experience as a professional basketball player overseas, Mirotic has a certain savvy to the way he plays.

As a  6-foot-10 power/small forward, he stretches the floor as well as any other forwards in the league.

Last season, Mirotic shot 35.5 percent from beyond the arc, and had three games where he made seven or more. After missing an extended period of time last season due to an injury, I expect that Mirotic will continue being a match up nightmare for opponents this coming season.
