From Long Beach, CA, Jordan Bell was a four-star recruit and a west coast kid. Although a highly touted recruit, Jordan has never flashed much potential on the offensive end. But, that is just fine. The Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year has always made his name on the defensive end.
After averaging solid but mostly unspectacular statistics in the regular season, Bell became a force in the tournament. He owned the paint against the likes of both Kansas and eventual champion North Carolina. His scoring numbers were still not great but his impact in other areas stood out.
