Celtics should draft Bell..somehow someway(other than using the 2017 nets pick). He wont last until the Celtics 2nd round picks. 

Strong , explosive, good bbiq, flashes some offensive skills(still under development).  Just a force.

Good rebounder, defender and shot blocker. I'd take him. I also like J. Motley around the same range. Tony Bradley could be a steal in that range as well. He didn't get much playing time on a loaded UNC team/front court.

Yes. He had 8 blocks  13 reb vs Kentucky (elite 8 victory) and 4 blocks 16 reb vs UNC(1 pt loss to UNC)

Draft Express has Jordan Bell going 42.  I don't see anything special about Bell and he's already 22.  I certainly wouldn't trade up for him. 

I agree about Tony Bradley being a potential steal in the 2nd round but I think if he doesn't get a 1st round guarantee that he'll withdraw from the draft and return to school. He'd probably be a mid-1st pick in the 2018 draft.  If it didn't cost too much, I'd trade up for a late 1st to take him.

I liked him in tourney but he is somewhat as a tweener at 6'9"  225 lbs.   Will he be able to guard the NBA guys and he sadly does not have stretch capabilities but could be an upgrade over Mickey as he is taller by an inch.

t 6'9 with a 6'11 wingspan, Bell has solid size for the power forward position, but average length. His wiry 227-pound frame continues to improve, and looks like it will fill out long term as much as needed. While he plays mostly the center position offensively and doesn't have great height or a long wingspan to do so in the NBA, he is able to compensate for that with a tremendous athletic profile for a big man. He runs the floor well in transition, demonstrates excellent quickness and mobility covering ground exceptionally well all over the court, and is highly explosive around the basket. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jordan-Bell-70316/ ©DraftExpress

He might be ok in small ball lineups but he would hurt the offense.   That being said, I am fan of his game but not sure CBS and Ainge will be.   He is a fighter and plays hard.  Ainge likes skilled players but he does not fit that mold at present.

I'd select Jeanne with the Minnesota 2nd instead and try to move up with our remaining 2 to nab Fusek (Jeanne is a 7'2 center with guard skills and Fusek is a 7'5 center who can pass quite a bit)

could not find him on draftexpress, so i did not provide an opinion.

based completely upon the highlights posted above, jeanne seems much quicker and runs the floor a lot faster. fusek did look slower and stiffer. but again, hard to form an opinion on just that video.

please post some reports on him so i can learn more. thanks.

He would not hurt our offense imo

He has more skills than Amir

If you can get a hold of the ncaa tourney games Oregon vs xyz..especially vs Kansas and North Carolina..

Bell was the mvp

Fusek also seems to have some basketball skill. Ainge should draft both Jeanne and Fusek  in the second round and stash both for the future.

Rebounding always translates.
High floor type of guy. Mickey couldnt grab a board to save his life.
