Jordan Bell’s encouraging preseason won’t necessarily earn him a spot in the Warriors’ deep rotation.
With less than a week until Golden State’s season opener against Houston, Bell appears poised to fill a role reminiscent of the one James Michael McAdoo held the past three seasons. Though hardly a regular contributor, McAdoo — now on a two-way deal with Philadelphia — earned occasional minutes off the bench when the matchup called for another big man capable of guarding multiple positions.
“I’ll put him out there for certain matchups,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said of Bell.
