Share

As part of our coverage leading up to the 2015 NBA Draft we will provide profiles of more than 60 prospects, including video interviews with each player, what they're saying leading up to draft day as well as their potential fit on the Bulls.

TaShawn Thomas, F, Oklahoma

6'8" | 240 lbs. | 22 years old

2014-15 stats:

11.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 blocks, 51.9 FG%, 29.7 minutes

Projection:

Undrafted

Quotable:

"My IQ is better than a lot of guys my size and my work ethic, I like to get better every day. That's one of the mottos I live by, just staying humble. (I want to work on) my consistency and my jump shot. That's one thing that I had a problem with this year (at Oklahoma), I hit a couple shots, then I'd miss a couple shots and I'd stop shooting. I'd lose my confidence. So, just building my confidence and getting in better shape."

Fit for the Bulls:

Thomas likely won't be drafted, and the Bulls could invite him to summer camp to bang with some of their post players. His best chance of making the league will hinge on his ability to improve his outside shot. His 7-foot-2 wingspan and block totals in his lone season at Oklahoma were nice, but he's already 22 and didn't put up many numbers on a Sooners team void of many talented bigs.
