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.

Justin Anderson, F, Virginia

6'6" | 231 lbs. | 21 years old

2014-15 stats:

12.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 46.6 field-goal percentage, 45.2 3-point percentage

Selection:

First round, 21st overall to the Dallas Mavericks

Quotable:

"I want to be able to be that guy that does it all. There’s a new wave of players we’re seeing that’s doing it at a high level: Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, Kawhai Leonard. I like to compare myself to Danny Green. It’s a new wave of those guys who can guard multiple positions but also knock down open jumpers and get better at the offensive game as their years go on in the NBA.”

Analysis:

The Mavs need to get younger on the wing, even with the arrival of Chandler Parsons last season. With Richard Jefferson on the way out they get a potential solid value pick in Anderson, who can hit the 3-pointer and play superb defense.
