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.
Trey Lyles, F, Kentucky
6'10" | 241 lbs. | 19 years old
2014-15 stats:
8.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 48.8 field-goal percentage
Selection:
First round, 12th overall to the Utah Jazz
NBA
Quotable:
"I'm a well-rounded ballplayer. I didn't get to do a lot of the things I'm capable of at school because it wasn't needed of me. But at this next level, I think I'll be able to raise a couple eyebrows."
Analysis:
The Jazz are set on the interior with Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors, so to get an inside-out power forward like Lyles is a great fit. His 240-pound frame will allow him to step in and contribute immediately. Don't be surprised to see the Jazz hovering around a playoff spot next season.
