After much speculation on whether or not he would return to Oregon, junior big man Jordan Bell made it official on Tuesday that he will enter the 2017 NBA Draft and hire an agent.
His decision to go pro came less than 48 hours after he called rumors that he might be heading to the NBA “fake news.”

When Jonathan Givony of Draft Express joined The Irregular Guys prior to the Final Four, he felt Jordan Bell had the most NBA upside of any Oregon Ducks player and had him as a solid second round pick
NBADraft.net currently has Bell as the No. 32 overall pick in their latest mock draft.
Bell’s decision means Oregon has lost six of their top seven scorers from a team that was in the Final Four just two and a half weeks ago.
