Nikola Mirotic is edging towards being too good for my channel at this point. I’ll give it a few more weeks, but if he’s still averaging 23, he’s outta here. I’ve already excised Tim Hardaway Jr., more because his game pisses me off than anything, but also because he’s scoring 25 a game. Mirotic’s game is much more aesthetic to me, but once someone is significantly over 20 per, it’s time to reconsider.
Here’s the deal: his points are likely only going to up if Tim Frazier remains in the starting lineup. He didn’t show it tonight, but Frazier makes everyone better. Everyone including Mirotic. Man, I’m so hyped for the Pelicans now. Please keep starting Frazier. As long as they do that, they’re my number two team.
And they’re still, now and forever, my darkhorse WCF candidate. That will never change.
