Jordan BellPF, Houston RocketsThe Rockets will receive Jordan Bell and a second-round draft pick as part of Tuesday's Clint Capela trade.
The Rockets are said to be looking for a rim protector, especially in the wake of trading Capela, but Bell may be looking at backup center minutes for a team that's going to trend very small barring another big acquisition. He's averaging just 8.7 minutes this season but does have 0.4 blocks in that time, and the per-minute numbers have never been up for debate. If Bell can get on the floor for 20 minutes a night, which is a huge "if," then he might be a solid specialist play. Only time will tell but he's not a bad speculative add in 20-teamers or so.
