Nikola Mirotic has dropped 15 pounds since surgery

Per BR: Since Mirotic's emergency appendectomy, he has lost 15 pounds.

Not the best way to lose weight at all, but since he is playing almost exclusively at small forward the weight loss could have a positive impact later down the line.

Will make him quicker but could also have negative impacts. Ideally he will fill the stretch four role once Noah and Taj move on and the frontcourt opens up. Being smaller will make it easier to get pounded on by larger guys on defense... An area he is already weak in

Niko was already a frail ass stick who gets abused every time he's in the paint, him dropping weight is terrible for his game. And he has been incredibly inconsistent on the wing this year, I kinda wish we would've cashed in on him and dealt him somewhere else last season, he's been rough to watch.
