Jordan Bell may be the best defender in the 2017 draft, but it is his improved offense that has GM’s raving. He’s gotten national attention as of late because of his pure domination in the 2017 NCAA Tournament.

With 13 PPG 13 RPG 3 BPG and 2 APG in the four tournament games, Bell has helped lead Oregon to the Final Four. Bell can possibly be a replacement for Amir Johnson who will likely be leaving the Boston Celtics this summer.

Bell has improved all aspects of his game since he was a freshman at Oregon. Bell has perfected his game to become a dominate re-bounder and shot blocker, and he has the size to do it at the next level.

If Jordan Bell continues to dominate in the Final Four his draft stock may rise, decreasing the chances the Celtics are able to draft Bell barring any trades.
