The text highlights Chris Bell's participation in the NBA G-League Combine, showcasing his opportunity to impress NBA scouts and potentially gain an invitation to the NBA Draft Combine.
Cal forward Chris Bell received a last-minute invitation to the NBA G-League Combine, and he is participating in that scouting event this weekend. Bell is one of 44 players participating in the three-day G League event in Chicago, which began Friday and will conclude Sunday.

Bell scored 20 points or more in five of Cal’s final nine games, and he averaged 23.7 points over the final three games when he made 15 of 27 three-points attempts -- 55.6 percent. Players at the G League Combine will also have their athleticism and agility measured, much like an NFL Combine, with players in the G League Combine getting timed in shuttle runs and three-quarter-court sprints and having their vertical jumps measured.
Finally, players will also have a number of body measurements recorded, including height, standing reach, wingspan and hand dimensions. Participants in the G League Combine, which is also known as the G League Elite Camp, are divided into four, 11-player teams. Bell in on Team 4, which includes two other ACC players – SMU’s Boobie Miller and Miami’s Tre Donaldson. Bell’s team is coached by Will Scott, Billy Donovan III, Marwan Sarhan and Scott Machado.
Other players of note include Seth Trimble of North Carolina, Robert McCray V of Florida State, Graham Ike of Gonzaga and former Saint Mary’s guard Aidan Mahaney, who play this past season at UC Santa Barbara.
