Bell needs to step it up

[Lukeyloo]

Bell continues to be reliant on others creating and getting him open. He just doesn’t work hard on the offensive or defensive end. If he’s not hitting shots, he’s a massive negative.

His shooting has been awful to start the year, but IIRC he started shooting poorly last year too before turning it on. This seems to be a trend for him. Here’s hoping he starts being a positive out there for us sooner rather than later.

He's very athletic and usually a better shooter but my goodness he doesn't know how to play basketball. He's a frustrating player because he could be so much more but he doesn't have that drive at all.

He’s an AAU posterchild. I think he seems to be a pretty good kid. He’s got some solid athleticism and he’s a fantastic shooter.

But it’s clear he spent long stretches of his young basketball career camped out on the wing waiting to be fed for threes and then celebrating each make and being miserable after each miss. There is very little to suggest he truly understands the game and where to be on the floor.

This is harsh. Kid should be fine, but I’m not sure I’ll ever quite view him as a ‘Basketball Player’. Feels destined to always be a ‘shooter’.

He has started every game he’s been here. 66 games. He’s a junior. His attitude and whining still boggles my mind - and the fact that Red keeps him out there while he does it make it even worse. It’s a terrible precedent to set. That’s not a good culture.

His laziness once cost us several possessions last night. I understand you have to see if he’s hot from 3 - but he’s 6/24 from there this year so give me someone else who will do more on the floor and play with a better attitude. He is so hard to watch
