NORRIS COLE REPORT CARD: Did Cole earn an NBA contract?

Shot selection

D Norris Cole did not take good shots. He sometimes played like he was trying to shoot his way to a new contract, though his assignment was to run the offense. It's not like the B team is void of shooters (Alex Abrines, Doug McDermott). Cole took 52 shots. Fifteen of those shots were 2-pointers from 16 feet or longer, the least efficient distance in the game. Cole was 3-of-9 in the restricted area, 3-of-8 from 3-10 feet, 2-of-7 from 16-22 feet, 5-of-15 from 16 feet to the arc and 3-of-13 on 3-pointers.
