Arkansas big man Bobby Portis is heading to the Chicago Bulls with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft after a breakout sophomore year with the Razorbacks. Portis is the first player from Arkansas to be drafted in the first round since Ronnie Brewer in 2007.
Portis averaged 18 points on 54 percent shooting and nine rebounds as a sophomore, and Arkansas finished second in the SEC behind Kentucky with a 26-8 record. The team lost in the SEC title game to the Wildcats, but Portis was named the SEC's Player of the Year over Kentucky's constellation of stars, and his Hogs still earned a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament, then beat Wofford in their opening game. North Carolina knocked out the Razorbacks in the third round, but it was still an impressive year for Portis and the team.
