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.
Richaun Holmes, F, Bowling Green
6'10" | 243 lbs. | 21 years old
2014-15 stats:
14.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, 56.1 FG%, 28.7 minutes
Projection:
Second round to undrafted
NBA
Quotable:
"Definitely Serge Ibaka is one guy I look up to, just how he came into the league as a defender and shot blocker and as the years went on he started getting that mid-range jump shot and becoming a scoring threat, So, that's definitely a guy I look at developing every day."
Fit for the Bulls:
The Bulls don't have a second-round pick in this year's draft, and Holmes isn't a realistic option for them at No. 22. If the Bulls do move back into the second round, Holmes would be an interesting fit. With a 7-foot-2 wingspan he has great length for a power forward and would provide solid depth in the Bulls' frontcourt. He's a hometown kid, playing his high school basketball in Lockport, so perhaps if he goes undrafted (unlikely) the Bulls would give him a shot in training camp.
