He always seemed like he had some long term hope - wasn't sure I was expecting last game. Good to see though.
He may be good!

He reminds me of a James Southerland… goos shooter but a guy that doesn’t do much else.

Yep. You if you can’t rely on his shooting you move on because he ain’t doing much else at that moment.
Someday tho!

He reminds me of a James Southerland… goos shooter but a guy that doesn’t do much else. At this juncture of his career he seems to be a bit more consistent shooting. He's a good long term piece - and that release is quick. I suppose it all just depends on how the other aspects of his game develop - is he just a shooter or can he do a bit more as he adds strength and gets some game off the bounce. Could end up being an Andy Rautins type. I can only imagine the career Southerland would have had with the Buddy treatment.

Ugh I can’t even think long term anymore because when the season ends I’m like 50/50 on everyone leaving to the portal or to go pro.

Yeah, we’ve gotta remember Southerland didn’t even get on the court until his 3rd year here. Guys like Nichols and Shumpert shot below 30% from 3 as freshmen. Rautins was a complete afterthought as a freshman. That Bell is shooting the 3 as well as he is as a freshman is impressive. And he has hit some big ones too. And he’s shown the ability to hit shots off the dribble too. He really needs to become an adequate defender and rebounder though if he’s going to be a guy we WIN with - because that’s something a guy like Nichols brought to the table even as a freshman. Guys who shoot and do nothing else are role players at best on GOOD teams. Think Mookie Jones. He should be getting at least 3-4 rebounds per game in the 20 mpg he’s averaging….he’s getting 1.6 which is just awful for a guy playing down low in the zone.

Yeah, Nichols had a lot to offer. If he had a bit more BJ Johnson in him he could be really productive on a team like this. BJ wasn't a complete player his Frosh year by any stretch, but he could battle a little bit, and still had some explosiveness.
Right now Bell has to be hitting shots to be valuable. I suppose if you're Buddy that's good enough to get you GIANT PT until you're fully ready for GIANT PT, but if you're Bell - not quite enough.
That being said, I don't really need him playing more. I do think we could do more to get him some shots though to see if he's on. He certainly ain't finding shots on his own.

Just when you start thinking one of these guys might be good.....they pull the rug out from under you! Ajak! Taylor! Bennie! Brown! They're all maniacs!
