NBA Draft Profile: Texas F Jonathan Holmes

Share

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.

Jonathan Holmes, F, Texas

6'9" | 242 lbs. | 22 years old

2014-15 stats:

10.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.3 3-pointers, 38.9 FG%, 26.1 minutes

Projection:

Second round

Quotable:

"I can be an every day guy. Effort and energy are the things I can control. Bring it in practice and bring it games. Be a good locker room guy and somebody they can count on. Being able to guard anybody on the court helps my draft stock a lot. It gives myself more versatility."

Fit for the Bulls:

The Bulls don't have a second-round pick, but if they get back into it Holmes would make for an intriguing fit. This Bulls frontcourt is led by a pair of 30+-year-old bigs in Joakim Noah and Pau Gasol, and while they have reinforcements behind them in Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic the Bulls could look to upgrade at Nazr Mohammed's spot. Holmes creates plenty of mismatches with an athletic inside presence and the ability to shoot from beyond the arc. He didn't light things up at Texas but a more spread out NBA game may help his talents more.
