The Chicago Bulls selected Florida State's Patrick Williams with the No. 4 pick of the NBA draft.
Williams enters the league as a prototypical modern forward prospect, with the ability to play both spots and possibly the five in smaller lineups. The 19-year-old was an outstanding defender in his lone season with the Seminoles, averaging a block and a steal per game.
