If the Razorbacks would have made it further in the NCAA tournament than they did, we would be talking about how Bobby Portis is a top ten pick. The SEC player of the year in 2014-15 is capable of producing just as much as anyone can in this draft, but because of a few bad bounces against NC State in the NCAA tournament, he’s going to fall to the second half of the first round. <p>Luckily for the Milwaukee Bucks that is. After doing a little rebuilding last year, the Bucks found themselves with a talented young team that will only get better in future years. Adding Portis, a guy who can score, defend, and rebound is something that would be instrumental to any success the Bucks have next year.</p> <p>Portis is an immediate impact player. Standing at 6 foot 10 inches tall with a 7-foot plus wingspan, Portis will disrupt passing lanes and get in the way of anyone who is trying to score in the post in the Eastern conference. Porits is a late first round steal for the Milwaukee Bucks.</p>. PF. Arkansas. Bobby Portis. 17. player. 89
