Jordan Bell’s dream of making it to the NBA had come true when the Chicago Bulls selected him with the 38th pick. But shortly after, the dream became even sweeter when the California native’s draft rights were sent to the defending champion Golden State Warriors for 3.5 million in cash.
Bell spent three years as an Oregon Duck, during which time he was the anchor of a defense that made the Elite Eight and the Final Four in the last two years. During Oregon’s 2017 Elite Eight win over Kansas, Bell put up one of the most memorable stat-lines in recent memory with 11 points, 13 rebounds and 8 blocks.
