Eye on the Draft: Bobby Portis

The Boston Celtics have been trying to fill the leadership role on their team ever since trading Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett in 2013. In the case of Garnett, a lot of that leadership came from his attitude, work ethic, and his voice on the court. Some of the same qualities can be seen in 20 year old Arkansas power forward Bobby Portis as he enters this year's NBA Draft.

Should Boston keep the number sixteen overall pick, you may just see Portis headbutting the stanchion at the TD Banknorth Garden next season in green & white.

Portis, at 6'11", 235 pounds, stands at the same height that Garnett entered the league at, but with an extra fifteen pounds on him.
