has the word Jordan in the name, this Jordan is not like Jordan. Jordan Bell's NBA career is not smooth. With the Lakers waived again, Jordan Bell's prospects are also gloomy.
Jordan Bell is the 8th pick of the second round in 2017. He is only 25 years old this year. As a comparison with Tatum in the same year, Mitchell and Fox and others have already got the maximum salary contract, while Jordan Bell is facing the possibility The dilemma of no ball to play. In order to make room for Gasol Jr., the Lakers traded McGee to the Cavaliers and replaced McKinney and Jordan Bell. However, the Lakers eventually left McKinney but waived Jordan Bell as a team. For the championship team, Jordan Bell does not help the Lakers much.
In fact, playing in the dynasty team warriors as soon as he entered the league is very helpful to Bell. After all, the Warriors are a place that many rookies dream of, and they can really learn a lot here. Then why Jordan Bell hasn’t played for a long time. Come out and change 5 teams in three years? I think there are two main reasons.
First of all, as a rookie Jordan Bell has a problem with his attitude. In fact, Cole still gave Jordan Bell a great opportunity when he first entered the league. Jordan Bell also played very well and was once regarded as Green's successor. However, the impact of injury caused Jordan Bell to miss many games. Coupled with Rooney’s outstanding performance and Cousins’ return to the team, Jordan Bell’s playing time became less and less. Therefore, Jordan Bell, who was dissatisfied, played in the Warriors game. During a timeout, he quarreled with coach Cole and publicly contradicted the coach. This is definitely not allowed, so Jordan Bell's departure from the Warriors is also expected.
The second is that he is really not good enough. Although Jordan Bell’s athletic ability is good, as a big player, Jordan Bell has no shooting ability at all. Not to mention that he is not sure about the three-pointer and even the mid-range shot. This is very difficult today. In the league, not only is the offensive ability limited, but Jordan Bell’s defense is not good. Both the defensive awareness and the defensive skills are very poor. He is often prone to fake moves and be tricked into fouls. The offensive and defensive capabilities are limited, so Jordan Bell Changed five teams in three years and were not reused anywhere.
For Jordan Bell, his biggest capital now is young, but he does need to polish his skills, and wait until the next opportunity comes to play a trusted performance. Judging from the current situation, Jordan Bell may encounter the dilemma of playing without the ball, and it is a good exercise to play in overseas leagues.
