Bell is 43% from three in conference games last year and this year combined

2.7 ppg in conference

I'm talking about basketball instincts, fundamentals, and hustle.

if you look at 3pg% in ACC conference games and throw out the dudes who take less than 2 per (rounded) he's ranked 11th at .449 % . scroll over next and if you look up the rebounds per game of that group and he's last at 1.4 rbdavg. All the other "marksman" are in the 2-6 boards range. it is possible to do both given his height and hops . viktor lakhin snags 6.3 and taylor bowen 5.4 a game i.e. and they both shoot a higher percentage deep than bell. so what good is 50 % when you bring absolutely nothing else ? last night he shot 7/12 and we lost big . too bad he's earning his bench time on the defensive end.

Bell was our best player yesterday in box score plus minus and John Hollinger's game score measure



I am sure many good shooters out there are better all around players and I hope some of them transfer here

Yes. But part of that is putting the ball into the hoop

Bell doesn't get a couple of his open looks last night if Petar doesn't win a scramble for a loose ball/grab an offensive rebound/pass out of a double team. In other words, if Majstorovic doesn't make good basketball plays.

I am not quite as enamored as everyone else but whatever, he's fine and works hard

Remember--he arrived late. This will be his first off-season in the program. I expect him to be much stronger next season.

To me the thing with Petar is his game doesn't have a poison pill.

His main problem right now is he fouls a ton. He'll become a better defender and adapt to US officiating. He has the markings of a solid two way player. For a college big, that's pretty good.
