LeBron James #23 of the Cleveland Cavaliers drives to the basket defended by Jordan Bell #2 of the Golden State Warriors during Game Four of the 2018 NBA Finals at Quicken Loans Arena on June 8, 2018 in Cleveland, Ohio.
Long Beach Poly alumnus and University of Oregon basketball player Jordan Bell was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft and was quickly traded to the Golden State Warriors.
Bell spend a majority of his rookie season as a role player off the bench for the Warriors but found himself in the starting lineup in 13 games this season at center.
While most players spend their entire career trying to win a NBA Championship, Bell and the Warriors finished the season with a sweep of LeBron James and the Cavaliers in Cleveland.
During the series, Bell had 23 points, 13 rebounds and four assists.
With valuable experience under his belt, Bell’s teammate Kevin Durant expects to see more from the rookie next season.
