Imagine a 4, that can drive, post up, and torch it from 3 as well

Is there anything new to report about Nikola Mirotic? The last that I heard was that the Bulls plan to keep him in Spain for a bit, but is there a projected time line for when we may see him in a Bulls uniform or even at rookie summer ball? - Jake Kolbus

Sam: A Bulls fan from New York sent me this YouTube clip of Mirotic from a recent game when he got 26.

It's pretty impressive stuff and the guy looks like he could start at four for the Bulls tomorrow. I know he's in Europe at least two years, but he's a heck of a pick and could be the real star of the last draft. This may be a Ginobili type of pick for the Bulls, but no one should dream yet.

More Ginobli than Kukoc was going to be Magic or Tarlac was going to be ?

He was known as the waiter in Europe for his ability to provide service (passes for easy buckets). So yes he was considered a Magic wannabe and while he was a good NBA player he never really crossed the line from Phil's "X" factor to true NBA star.

I never heard him compared to magic... EVER

Tony was 6'11"...he was a decent passing big , he could shoot, but he never had a post up game, was never good at driving....Mirotic is nothing like Kukoc.... im kinda lost as far as where this comparison is coming from.....he's from Europe too..that's about their only comparison as players as far as i can see
