Nikola Mirotic was expected to be a frontline starter and consistent scorer in his third season, not getting fined for missing a walk-through and falling completely out of the rotation. Doug McDermott has proven to be a rotation player because he consistently makes defenses respect him, thus spacing the floor. But his athleticism never will be confused with that of Zach LaVine, who, well before he routinely beat the Bulls downcourt for dunks Tuesday, went two picks after McDermott in the 2014 draft.
