Bell averaged exactly 20 mins a game last year. He was not a typical late-career JB starter with high 20s low 30s in minutes per game. We often did pull him out and I expect more of the same next season barring him showing some capability in man-to-man D. On an ideal SU team I think he is a spark from range off the bench at this stage, not a starter, but this is not a perfectly ideal Cuse team.

I really really really do not understand how even posters on here I consider the most intelligent seem to be viewing us as having a Chris Bell problem rather than a small forward problem. Why do some not step back and look at the options we had to work with at small forward as a whole? It was between him Taylor and Copeland. Not him Kris Joseph and CJ Fair. This was not a Girard/Kadary situation either. Taylor and Copeland were also freshman that had considerable weaknesses to their game.

We have a small forward problem. We have a front court problem in general this year. If we play Taylor and Copeland at small forward instead of him this season the outlook is about the same - they better have improved a whole lot or we are in trouble. This Westry injury stings because we need improvement there.
