Mirotic was brought into the NBA as a stretch 4, but up until the 2017-18 season, he never really showed off his marksmanship for a long enough period of games to be regarded as something other than an outlier. Last season was, however, a time when he was excellent for the entirety of the season as well as the postseason, averaging an elite shooting percentage and acting as an able third fiddle to Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday.

Mirotic, Randle and Anthony Davis form what is, on paper, the best modern frontcourt in all of the NBA. Mirotic is expected to be a starter with Randle coming off the bench this season, which is what makes Mirotic's placement above him and on this list a justifiable decision - the former Laker was a viable candidate to make this list as well.
