As evidenced by earning the starting nod over Julius Randle, the New Orleans Pelicans had lofty expectations entering the 2018-19 season for Nikola Mirotic, “The Shaven One,” and he’s living up to the hype.
Mirotic and Anthony Davis formed a natural and devastating 4/5 tandem late in the 2017-18 season, and this pairing has only grown more effective here in the ‘18-19 season — much of it due to the ever-growing confidence by Threekola as he continues to excel on the offensive end of the court.
Should we have seen this coming?
