The Dubs are currently hands down the best team in the NBA and from the looks of it, they have no intention of giving their spot up anytime soon.

Despite not having a pick in the 2017 draft, GM Bob Myers made sure he got the man he thought suited his team down to a tee. By paying the Chicago Bulls $3.5 million, the Warriors got the rights to their second-round pick - Jordan Bell.

Bell brings athleticism, basketball intelligence, and toughness to the roster and is seen by many as a replica of Draymond Green, who is thought to be the Warriors' emotional leader.

Be it his ability to block shots or make backdoor cuts and smart passes, the 22-year-old has all the right qualities to become a solid professional basketball player, who could develop to become a top-notch defensive enforcer and contributor on offense.

Apart from the 6'9" tall Bell, the presence of 21-year-olds McCaw and Looney also adds energy and depth to the Golden State bench, always a tremendous option to possess.
