14. Nikola Mirotic

Injuries and Fred Hoiberg‘s inability to figure his roster out have prevented Nikola Mirotic from enjoying a true breakout season, but the second-year stretch-4 has still been impressive nonetheless.

Figuring out whether he’s better off as a starter or as a sixth man has amounted to an unsolved mystery, but Mirotic is averaging a solid 11.4 points and 5.5 rebounds per game while shooting 38.6 percent from three-point range. Unfortunately, his 40.2 field goal percentage still leaves something to be desired.

Mirotic is not much of a defender, but he provides offense for a Chicago Bulls team that needs it. The Bulls may be on the outside looking in at the playoff picture, but Mirotic is going to be a good player in this league if he can just stay healthy and be a little more assertive on the offensive end.
