Chris Bell - 7 rebounds

Never thought I’d see the day

3 big time blocks too

He’s putting it together. Give him another off-season and he’s going to be on one of the All ACC squads next year.

 

[Orangezoo]

Big shout out to Taylor with another nice game too. Looked confident and locked in out there. This group wants it and is dangerous

I’m still believing he will leave but I agree that he has such potential to grow in other areas of the game and will be a really great player if he does.

 

[orangefog]

We’ve got players on this team. It’s a shame there’s been no upper class men leadership. Next year, who knows who we’ll have back.

 

[hoopsupstate]

JB’s “best recruiting class ever” is looking better and better. Mintz, Bell, Copeland, Brown and Taylor aren’t too shabby Now we throw in JJ and Chance!

 

[orangenauburn]

Ive been very hard on Bell in spite of his offensive prowess but I'll be damned if I don't say he has played well this stretch and is starting to become more impactful and well rounded.

If he comes back I wouldn't be sad

Copeland, Starling, Bell, Freeman, Brown with Moore, McLeod, Westry, and Taylor off bench gives flexibility and options

Obviously things could change and five guys could be gone but the pieces are there

After struggling with FT's, the three he made down the stretch were much needed at a critical time.

And Brown

 

[Newhouser]

Bells best overall game.

 

[hoopsupstate]

And Brown

I can’t believe I missed him.

 

[mark79]

Bell is turning himself into a great player and we are now actually running plays for him. Other teams HAVE to account for him which opens up a lot for Judah and JJ as well as for Magic Maliq and Q to play their games.

He was great and they weren't just easy rebounds off a missed free throw. He was really battling.

 

[upperdeck]

You get more rebounds when you get closer to the basket.

unless he gets a nice paycheck, why would a kid who starts and plays the entire game every night leave?

 

[OHIORANGES]

Bell really stepped up all around. Great game!

 

[MikeSU02]

Chris Bell is officially above 15 PER as of yesterday’s game.

Second highest TS% on the team (I’m not counting Naheem).

He’s not perfect, but Maliq, Judah, Q and Bell have sort of broken away in terms of our core.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

The blocks were all huge. They took 6 points off the board. They stuffed pretty much sure buckets.

 

[81South]

Folks are so impatient. Chris is turning into a special player. Judah is showing that his star is very bright. Maliq quietly fills so many buckets. JJ is a really nice piece.

 

[Red2003]

We now have 2 serviceable forwards at both ends of the court that we didn't have a month ago.

On the impatience. It was hard to watch those blowouts, but we know why it happened at least. If you're UVA and Bennet what's their excuse. Scoring 18 points a half and then not even attempting to get back into games seems crazy to me. They either show up or don't like we did 2 months ago. Only difference is that it's March now and they're still doing it and we aren't

 

[shu 49]

His effort today was outstanding. All he needs to be excellent is the want to and he can be really good.

I wish we played them in February. They kind of suck now and have no ability to come back against anyone.

Taylor? Justin Taylor? Could not have any less confidence - we are playing 4 on 5 on offense - he plays hard on defense and appears to be a smart player on defense but he’s still a below average athlete though he is pretty tough - we have no depth whatsoever so we are forced to play him

 

[Cusefan0307]

Keeps improving. I bagged on him quite a bit in November, but he’s twice the player he was then.
