9. Jordan Bell — Golden State Warriors

Jordan Bell was always going to be a steal when he continued to drop on draft night. The Chicago Bulls’ decision to take cash considerations for what would eventually send Bell to the Warriors is going to come up for years to come.

As an older rookie, Bell has the age and the skill-set to contribute to the Golden State Warriors right away. He showed that in Las Vegas with an abundance of blocks, steals, terrific rebounding and intricate passes.

As one of just two players to average 2.6 blocks and 2.0 steals, Bell’s defensive versatility was on full display. If he can add any type of scoring to his game, look out.
