It is one thing being called the next 'Draymond Green' and totally another thing to be able to replicate him, mostly because nobody expected the real Draymond Green to become what he is today.

Now, he has a chance to learn and play with Green himself after GSW acquired him from the Bulls for $3.5 million.

A dynamic athlete and elite rim protector, Bell can impact the game in various ways. His athleticism and high basketball IQ make him a perfect fit in the GSW system.

Bell played college basketball at the University of Oregon, where he was a dominant defensive force helping his team to the final four.

He averaged 10.9 points per game, 8.8 rebounds per game, 2.2 blocks per game and 1.2 steals per game in his junior year and was the Defensive Player of the Year in 2017.

With the Warriors, Bell will be able to hide his biggest weakness i.e. shooting and show the NBA his impressive shot blocking and rebounding ability. Steve Kerr will also get his defense a centre who is good at switching and protects the rim at all costs.
