How dare you, there were at least 5 plays in there where he wasn't just spotting up lol.

Seriously though, his shot diet is definitely extremely similar to Bell where they both almost solely attempt 3's. Bell showed very little ability to do anything off the bounce (outside of some transition buckets) in high school as well, but he showed a little more of a well-rounded game this season IMO.

Just based off the highlight video you mentioned above and looking at Hicks' stats, it appears that Hicks may do a better job of relocating on the 3 point line to find openings vs. Bell mostly just being a standstill shooter. Rebounding obviously isn't very close at this point; Hicks was around 6-8 rebounds per 40 minutes vs. Bell being around half that.

Sam Vecenie said that NBA teams are keeping an eye on Hicks due to his shooting ability and athleticism, but he doesn't really look like much athletically to me; Bell seems quicker/more bouncy.
