As a rookie, Golden State Warriors big man Jordan Bell wasn’t exactly known for his versatile, nuanced offensive game, and that’s not a bad thing. He provided the Warriors with exactly what they hoped for: intensity, rebounding, moments of defensive brilliance, and the ability to finish around the rim.
But what if I told you that he was successful as a jump-shooter as well? That from 10-16 feet, Bell shot 56.5%?
Yet numbers can be misleading, and such is the case with Bell’s percentages. He only shot such jumpers 23 times all year, meaning his selection was limited to times when he was really, really open.
