The mass exodus from Oregon Men’s Basketball is now complete with nearly every role player gone, including Jordan Bell who announced on Tuesday he was heading to the NBA Draft.

Oregon Ducks Head Coach Dana Altman has some work to do. With Jordan Bell joining Dillon Brooks and Tyler Dorsey who will take their chances in the NBA Draft. I believe Bell has the best chance of making it at the next level – and remaining in the United States. Brooks and Bell may find a new home at the next level, but will likely be shipped overseas to work on their game.

Bell has the size and strength to become a contributor at the next level in his first year.

He is expected to sign with an agent forgoing his Senior Season with Oregon. Jordan Bell made a name for himself averaging close to a double-double this season with over 10 points and 8 rebounds per game. The duo of Bell and Chris Boucher were key to the success of the Oregon Ducks over the last two seasons on Defense with their blocking ability.
