A fresh batch of wide-eyed prospects had the privilege of working out for the Chicago Bulls Thursday at the Advocate Center. (go here for the first round of players)
Nick Ward; Michigan State; 6-foot-8-inch forward
The Spartans had so much talent on their roster and so much other drama going on around the program last season that you probably forgot about Ward. He’s a strong, back-to-the-basket player who is a tenacious rebounder. He averaged 12.4 points and 7.1 rebounds in his sophomore season as a Spartan, but doesn’t have much of a jump shot meaning he’s not exactly what the NBA is looking for from a modern day big man.
