Mirotic put up big numbers in Chicago to open the season, but he really proved his worth following a trade to the Pelicans, who went 20-10 and landed the West’s No. 6 seed after landing the gunner who possesses solid defensive chops. He posted career highs of 15.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.
