The Chicago Bulls already love Bobby Portis, and that means the rest of the organization's bigs are on notice. Should the new prospect continue making strong first impressions, Chicago may have to seriously consider trading one of its big men in a bid to alleviate an emerging log-jam at power forward and center.
New head coach Fred Hoiberg was exposed to Portis while coaching Iowa State last season. Perhaps that is why the organization opted to select the Arkansas product with the No. 22 overall pick in Thursday's NBA draft.
"We played Arkansas this year, we played them at home in Hilton Coliseum, and Bobby was terrific," Hoiberg told reporters after the draft.
