As part of our coverage leading up to the 2015 NBA Draft we will provide profiles of more than 60 prospects, including video interviews with each player, what they're saying leading up to draft day as well as their potential fit on the Bulls.
Jahlil Okafor, C, Duke
6'11" | 272 lbs. | 19 years old
2014-15 stats:
17.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 66.4 FG%, 30.1 minutes
Selection:
First round, third overall to Philadelphia 76ers
NBA
Analysis:
Sam Hinkie didn't think Okafor would be available at No. 3, and with the selection they now have an insanely talented (and young) frontcourt of Okafor, Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid. The Sixers had to grab Okafor at this point, but Russell would have been a much better fit.
