I think a great comp for Mirk is actually Luka Garza in terms of style, play and potential output. Luka had a similar freshman year, then his sophomore year dealt with some injuries and setbacks, so I think looking at Garza's junior year as what we could hope for Mirk.

I imagine if he has that type of year based on what the odds makers say (National player of the year odds) then he goes pro. I don't think we'll see 4 years with Mirk and likely next will be his last if he meets expectations.

Maybe a better rebounding Sandro Mamukelashvili at the next level? Similar build. Not an overwhelming athlete, but decent. Can knock down three’s, put the ball on the floor, and usually makes the right play. If Mirk loses some of the baby fat, he would look a lot like him on the floor.
Sandro is going to make some decent money this off-season. (Made his way onto some 6thMOY ballots)

Garza is huge and extremely skilled, but very slow.
