Nemanja Bjelica started 70 games for the Sacramento Kings in the 2018-19 season, while the most recent second overall pick Marvin Bagley III started just four. It came down to one aspect: Bagley shot 31% from three and Bjelica shot 40% on more than double the number of attempts.
Bagley probably should have started more games, and him not doing so seems to have been a major factor in former coach Dave Joeger’s eventual firing. But the spacing that Bjelica provided was crucial for De’Aaron Fox and others to have open driving lanes.
