Raja Bell is currently putting up the 12th lowest PER season (over 2,000 minutes) of any NBA player since the Jazz moved to Utah:

Four of those seasons belonged to Bruce Bowen, who at least defended well. Exclude those and we're left with:

1. Junior Harrington, 02-03
2. Greg Kite, 90-91
3. Adam Morrison, 06-07
4. Eric Snow, 05-06
5. Trenton Hassell, 03-04
6. Mark Macon, 91-92
7. Danny Vranes, 84-85
8. Raja Bell, 10-11

There may still be time to pass a few of these guys, say Vranes and Macon.

Come on Raja! You can do it! Make us proud!
 
Bell is bad luck!!!

Here is a little fact for all you junkies out there. All 3 seasons he has been here has been in three different jazz jerseys and all 3 years we missed the playoffs!

No one knows this but Kobe actually called to tell him to sign with the Jazz last offseason rather than sign with the Lakers. He didn't want the bad Smell down there in Los Angeles.
 
It's not Raja's fault. Sloan isn't running plays for him at all. How much more obvious does it have to get before you haters get off his jock?
 
All I can do at this point in the season is laugh. We went from Mathews, who will be an all star at some point in his career, to the absolute worst player in the game of basketball. Some of you may say that is exaggerating, those people are raja smell posting on multiple accounts.
 
Sadly, I think he won't make it to the top. I think the ankle injury will shut him down for the season. But have hope, he's under contract for two more years.....
 
6.4: Junior Harrington, 02-03
7.4: Greg Kite, 90-91
7.9: Adam Morrison, 06-07
8.1: Eric Snow, 05-06
8.2: Raja Bell, 10-11

If Raja can fight through this injury, he can surely overtake Snow and Morrison. The other two might be out of reach.

Come on Raja, I believe in you!

(except my shirt says "RAJA" on it, instead of SAGA.)
 
According to the Trib, Bell will not be travelling with the team on the final road trip. He is likely done for the season.

He's done it! Raja Bell has just completed the worst season ever by a Jazz player (that played 2,097 minutes like he did)!

Congratulations, Raja Bell! One for the ages!

We can't wait to see how you'll top this one next season (and the next season and the one after that).

The table is even more hilarious when the limit is Raja's 63 games started in that season:

Jason Collins! He started 78 games and put up a PER of 3.

Hey come on, Bell's season wasn't that bad.
Sure, he never made a wide open 3 when we counted on him, especially since we signed him on as a 3 point specialist. And he never really dribbled, cut, or passed too much, not all shooting guards do. And sure, he acted like he defended players well even though most times players could easily get by him.

But there's one thing that you guys are forgetting about Raja Bell and that is, his last name is a noun.
