Nikola Mirotic/Real Madrid Thread

[HOWE do i do it]

i dont even know who the guy in my sig is. lol I honestly dont want anybody in the upcoming draft, rather trade the pick for an established player in the league now.

he's a high schooler

Mirotic reminds me of gallo. The only difference is that he would be a four in the NBA because of his lack of speed. I would like to see him bulk up more. But other than that I can't wait to see him in two years or so.

This is exactly what I've mentioned a few times on here so I'm glad someone else feels same way for now.

He plays inside too much for me to compare him to Gallo. Maybe a mix of him a bit though. I still see Hedo the most overall. A mix of Hedo, Dirk, and Gallo makes sense.

he'll never be anywhere near dirk imo.

I don't mean for him to be on Dirk's level. But there are similarities in their game, with 3-point spacing, off the dribble, and post work.

I ♡♡♡♡ Mirotic, + Bobcat pick are great building blocks.

But they suck.

So does boozer.

Men his post game is nothing like dirk's. He post up people who are smaller and has trouble with those his size or bigger. Bulking up could help him out but I don't think it will. He is more of a gallo style player with the scrappiness of a Ryan Anderson.

they can be similarites but imo i highly doubt he'll ever be Dirk-like with those things. The parts you mentioned are all european big men anyway outside of really good post work so there is a difference when you compare him to Dirk who does all those things other european stars can do but much better and effectively. I don't think Mirotic will be as good on all those things but be a Gallo type player who has the same aspects as Dirk but not as good.

The end of that is pretty much what I was saying, plus the Hedo part.

Gallo and Dirk imo are the same except Dirk is better at it than Gallo. That's why i was confused when you included a mix involving Gallo and Dirk.

[kingbrentg]

I don't see Dirk and Gallo as the same really. Gallo is far more perimeter oriented than Dirk, which is why I added Dirk to begin with because of his post and interior driving abilities. Mirotic's won't be on that level, but he'll have the edge on Gallo in that area imo.

lol at least we got this confusion cleared up some with our posts.

He reminds me of a young Dirk Nowitzki (before breakthrough to HOF caliber).

Watching Mirotic play every week,i can tell you that.

1.he has very good basketball IQ,especially for his age and experience.
2.doesn't (yet) show signs that he will ever be a 20-10 guy in the NBA.he is not forcing tough shots.he is not such good in rebounds,should be better at his size.
3.he has shown good development in his post game,has good moves.will definitely be solid on that area too.
4.he is not a pure 3pt shooter like ryan anderson(saw someone mention him).
5.his team and coach doesn't fit too much to his strengths.they play run n gun/no defence.


i would say he is ready to take a starter role in 10 teams in the nba right now.for the thibodau bulls,i would say 2014 summer is perfect(if we are talking about starter role-minutes).
ideally for the bulls,RM gets a real coach this summer(obradovic for example,similar attitude to thib) and he gets one more year of experience.

PS. spanish ACB and Euroleague are by a huge margin the best and toughest leagues in the world,not named NBA.actually in some aspects,it might be tougher even than the nba.i.e. defence there,is better and tougher than the regular season nba defence.
