Former Arkansas forward Bobby Portis has signed with the Chicago Bulls.

Portis was drafted by the Bulls with the 22nd pick of the NBA Draft last month. Terms of his contract were not disclosed.

The NBA rookie salary scale suggests a $1.16 million contract for the first year and $1.21 million for the second year. Teams can sign their picks for as much as 120 percent of the suggested salary or for as little as 80 percent.

The Bulls introduced Portis during a news conference last week in Chicago. He threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the White Sox's game Monday.

Portis averaged 17.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game as a sophomore at Arkansas last season, earning SEC player of the year honors. He was the Razorbacks' first player drafted in the first round since 2006.
