All the numbers of Nikola Mirotic’s EuroLeague season

Nikola Mirotic finished his EuroLeague season with an average rating of 22.0 per game. It was high enough to place him third overall for the season, but more importantly, it is the highest that an Olimpia player has ever recorded in a single season. The previous record – 20.2 – belonged to Mike James during the 2018/19 season. He was the first to average over 20 in a statistic that essentially includes all numbers. Mirotic achieved a 40 rating in Round 34, setting a personal best in a single game, too.

At the end of the season, Mirotic was third overall in rating, fifth in scoring (17.7), sixth in rebounding (6.4) and seventh in fouls drawn (4.9). He was second in free throws made (5.0 per game with 89.3 percent accuracy). Eleven times this season he scored at least 20 points in a single game. And he became the seventh Olimpia player with at least 100 three-pointers made in EuroLeague games.

This season, Mirotic surpassed the 4,000-point barrier for his career. He was the seventh player to reach this threshold. He also surpassed Georgios Printezis to enter the top 10 all-time for rebounds grabbed and entered the all-time top five for free throws made, 984. Finally, considering only the last five years of the EuroLeague, since his return to Europe after tha NBA stint, Mirotic has the highest average rating with 19.9 per game over 179 games played.
