Justin Bean, senior SF/PF, Utah State: As in “jumping Bean.” The first thing that stands out about Bean is his bounciness off two feet and his great hands in crowds, qualities which enable him to inhale rebounds by the boatload. He goes waaaayy out of his zone for a lot of them, too, especially on the offensive glass; the result is a sparking 20.9 Rebound Rate for a player who stands just 6-7. Scouts had always been attracted to that part of his game, but his shooting form looked more like Mr. Bean. Not any more. Bean has unleashed a legit 3-point weapon in the early part of this season, which makes him look very much the part of an NBA forward. Bean has made 10 of his 16 3-point attempts thus far after making ten all season in 2020-21; he’s also more than doubled his scoring average. As a career 80.9 percent foul shooter, there is at least some reason to believe that he can continue being a halfway decent 3-point threat.
