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.

Chris Walker, F, Florida

6'10" | 208 lbs. | 20 years old

2014-15 stats:

4.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 53.8 FG%, 14.6 minutes

Projection:

Second round to undrafted

Quotable:

"As a freshman coming in you get so hyped and everything. One thing Coach (Billy Donovan) taught me is don't put no expectations on yourself. So I'm here right now and I've put no expectations on myself. We had a phenomenal season (when I was a) freshman to go to the Final Four. I came back as a sophomore thinking I would play more, have myself the lottery and everything. Collectively and individually it didn't go as I wanted it to. I feel like winning and losing, I learned a lot about everything going through that adversity."

Fit for the Bulls:

From McDonald's All-American to not getting off the Florida bench in a matter of two years, Chris Walker's time in Gainesville didn't go quite as planned. Still, he possesses an elite skill set that may have a team take a second-round flyer on him. He said at the Combine that he could have been used in a more prominent role with the Gators but managed just 15 minutes per game. The Bulls have done well with athletic bigs in the past (Taj Gibson) and former Gators (Joakim Noah) and Walker is certainly worth a look if he goes undrafted.
