The Bulls lack depth at the center spot, especially when you take Robin Lopez out of the long term equation. Porter is the best big man available, and he happens to be the brother of Michael, who the Bulls selected sixth in this mock.

While not nearly the prospect that Michael is, Jontay does bring a lot to the table that NBA teams will appreciate. He’s a high-end shooter at the five spot, thriving in pick-and-pop scenarios. He’s also a crafty scorer on the block, something that picked up quite a bit in SEC play last season.

He struggles on defense, but the Bulls have time to iron out those issues and figure out where he fits into the rotation. Next to Lauri Markkanen and Bobby Portis, the Bulls have the potential to have shooting in the frontcourt at all times.
