The Warriors have announced the signing of second-round pick Jordan Bell, tweets Anthony Slater of The San Jose Mercury News. Bell will receive a two-year minimum-salary deal, which was all Golden State could offer because of its cap situation.
A 6’9″ junior out of Oregon, Bell was taken 38th overall by the Bulls and traded to the Warriors for $3.5MM on draft night. That’s a record price for a draft pick and the most that league rules currently allow in a cash deal.
Bell averaged 2.3 blocks per game to go with 11.0 points and 8.7 rebounds for the Ducks this year.
Welcome to the Warriors Bell!!! Glad to have you.
Man, it’s unfortunate they were only able to get him for those 2 years before he becomes a RFA, if he plays the way he is capable of
This could end up being a really good pick for them I like Bell a lot.
I agree. Seems like a perfect fit
