It wasn’t long ago, earlier this year in fact that Arkansas Razorback fans watched Michael Qualls and Bobby Portis light up the court. Portis was the ultimate big man and Qualls was an absolute freak of athletic ability. I watched Qualls come in as a freshman and show flashes of what he was capable of. He improved more and more each year until opted for the NBA draft after his junior year.
That stint was short lived as he tore his ACL in his first league workout. The Oklahoma City Thunder signed him to an undrafted free agent deal in June.
