After a hot start to the young season, Mirotic’s complete turnaround for the worse might lead him back to a reserve role. Hoiberg has continuously gave Mirotic chance after chance, but a lineup change seems to be in the near future.
Hoiberg said he’s debating changing the lineup. Have been told he’s strongly considering Taj.

“I need to stay focused and still play my game whether I come from the bench or start. It’s a long season. I know my team needs me.” – Nikola Mirotic
Mirotic was listed as a reserve against the Sixers last month, but Noah decided to sit with an injury which allowed Mirotic to keep his starting job. Mirotic is averaging 11.8 points per game, 6.3 rebounds per game, and is shooting 39% from the field.
