It’s hard to argue with the Dallas Mavericks selecting Virginia’s Justin Anderson with the 21st pick in the first round of the NBA Draft, but did they make a mistake not taking Bobby Portis from the University of Arkansas?
Portis, an incredibly skilled offensive player who beat out some stiff competition for SEC Player of the Year in 2014-15, was taken just a pick after the Mavericks by the Chicago Bulls. They were ecstatic that Portis was still on the board, and though hadn’t planned on being able to select him, didn’t miss their chance when it rolled around.
