In pre-draft interviews, Portis said he likes to play angry, even imagining his opponent slapped his mom. Oh, and he models his intensity after that of Kevin Garnett.

That certainly sounds like someone ready to embrace the serious-minded, workmanlike approach the Bulls like to project.

"My strengths will show," Portis said. "I pride myself on hard work. I don't have to have the basketball to score. I move well without the ball, can pick-and-pop, pick-and-roll. I think I bring a lot."

Hope he works out for them, in this the last effort from the GarPax era under the dying days of the Jerry Reinsdorf's reign atop two potentially dying Chicago franchises.

Hell of a pick, steal at #22
