"I feel everything will take care of itself if I play hard." - Bobby Portis

Bobby Portis didn't think it was going to happen for him in Chicago.

No, not "the Punch," but the little jab of disappointment he felt after his pre draft workout with the Bulls in 2015. The second team all-American from Arkansas just fell in love with Chicago in his short time in the city, in the workout with the Bulls, hanging out with his buddies. But everything and everyone told him otherwise.

All the mock drafts had the rugged 6-11 forward going well before the Bulls selected at No. 22. The highly regarded NBAdraft.net projected Portis going 13th to Phoenix.
