Bulls' Nikola Mirotic: Limited to two points in preseason loss

Mirotic generated two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 19 minutes in Monday's 93-91 exhibition loss to the Bucks.

Mirotic is battling Bobby Portis and Taj Gibson for the starting power forward job in training camp, but of the three, only Gibson (11 points, 12 rebounds) had what could be described as a good game Monday. Gibson's prowess on the defensive end could be enough to give him a leg up on the competition, but it's still likely that Mirotic and Portis will remain constant factors in the frontcourt rotation. Any one of the three could see the most minutes on any given night.
