Mirotic named December Euroleague MVP

Bulls' prospect Mirotic named Euroleague MVP - chicagotribune.com

Looks like Nikola is going to be the real deal. Boozer's eventual replacement averaged 18.5ppg & 6.8rpg for the month.

I'd love to see this guy come over here next year. Obviously with a five-year deal, it probably won't happen. Still -- he'd add another dimension to this squad.

From what I've seen of him, he looks like a tougher version of Gallinari, with better handles & rebounding. This kid could be a certified stud when he gets here in a couple years.

I actually really like Nikola Mirotić...unlike Asik.

I actually really like Nikola Mirotić...unlike Asik.

why?

 

[FirstTimer]

why?

Why what?

 

[zack54attack]

because Asik really isn't good..

 

[nwfisch]

Asik is overrated by some, but I think he's a solid bench player. His offense though

 

[WindyCity7]

he's a solid bench player.

which is all thats being asked of him....
we would have won at the min 1 more game in the finals if he didnt go down.....

 

[inactiveuser1]

:yeah: does Mirotic have starting potential?? or will he join the bench mob? obviously he probably wouldnt start right away..but what about down the road?

 

[Bear06]

I hope he comes to the Bulls in 2 or 4 years.

somebody do something clever w/ the fact that his name rhymes w/ "erotic"

 

[scottiepippen1994]

We might need to bring this guy in now.....just look how the lowly golden state warriors are man handling the bulls....Pax should send him a passport immediately, and also send JR one.

It may be spelt like it rhymes with erotic but it isn't pronounced that way unfortunately

Hey Dementia! You live in Europe, you could give us the scoop on the over seas players! Would you mind keeping an eye on Mirotic and tellin us how he's doing?

Sure, we actually get a ton of Euroleague basketball on television here, unfortunately not near enough NBA

 

[inactiveuser1]

That sucks You could probably get a live Internet stream though right?

 

[FirstTimer]

why?

Here is why:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwQw-oeKgrk]Nikola Mirotic - MVP of Week 8, Euroleague (Real Madrid vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv 88-64 # 08/12/11) - YouTube[/ame]

He's an actual skilled big in the mold of Dirk.

Dude's a difference maker IMO.

Asik is a nice bench center who the entire fanbase overrates to holy hell.

his last name is pronounced "Mee-ro-teech"

Asik isn't overrated by anyone. If anything, it's the opposite. He's a center who is mobile and is very un-Euro, which is to say, he's the polar opposite of soft. Rebounding has been one of our competitive advantages and Asik extends that for us. He has a very respectable rebounds per minute.


The truth is that First Timer was making fun of people for mentioning Asik coming to the Bulls and suggesting that he would help. Instead of admitting he was wrong, he takes this position that he's overrated by fans. It's more about FirstTimer being fraudulent than it is about Asik.
