Jordan Bell opened up a lot of eyes with his play during his rookie year with the Golden State Warriors, but it's important for the Warriors success that he takes another step forward.
With the Warriors strapped for cash, it's important that the guys still on their rookie contracts play key roles off the bench. Bell is apart of the Warriors summer league team, but exactly how many games he is going to end up playing is still unclear.
Golden State told him playing in the summer league was optional, but it was something they really encouraged him to do so that he will be able to take that next step forward this offseason.
“We’re trying to prepare him to come in next year and be a big part of what we’re doing,” said Warriors assistant coach Willie Green, the team’s summer-league coach via the Mercury News. “He’s already proven that he can come in and play and have an impact on the NBA. We want his skills to continue to develop and continue to work on things that we’re going to do during the season. We want him to go out in summer league and be the best version of Jordan Bell he can be.”
Bell is entering the last year of his contract and will make just a little over a million dollars. Next year he will be playing for the team and himself. He is going to try and help Golden State win another championship, and he is trying to earn his next contract either with the Warriors or someone else.
