Chris Bell Entering the Transfer Portal

Makes sense. Wish him the best. Good kid. I think he will do far better at a mid major.

Not surprised but was a big disappointment this year from where I thought he would be this year

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Best of luck to Bell. Seems a departure will be best for both parties.

I couldn’t have possibly been more wrong about his career progression. I thought he had the potential to turn into a Shumpert-type player.

Bell is a great stationary shooter but he didn’t work hard to get himself open. Watch replays of Andy Raitins and see how hard he worked throughout the game to get open for shots. Chris never did that

We all did.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This is best for everyone. He needs a fresh start. The program had bigger expectations for him than he was able to fill. Sometimes it's a relief to just part ways.

That said, it's been a while since we've headed into a season knowing we didn't have to embrace all that The Chris Bell Experience™ is and is not.

Same, no loss here on both sides

Well, no loss as long as we find 1-2 three point shooters in the portal. We struggled to hit them last year, and without Bell really don’t have a threat.

Wish Chris the best. It will be interesting to see where he lands. I envision a bench shooting role, unless he finally decides he wants to try to develop other aspects of his game

 

[djcon57]

Very curious to see where he lands

 

[phil77]

Very curious to see where he lands

Yup I think it will depend on what is important to him. I can see him having P4 options and I could see him going down a level if he wants to be "the man". He does have an elite skill so I imagine he could and probably will have P4 looks.

 

[CA Monk]

Does his non-development speak more about the coaching staff or Bell’s abilities?
He shoulda been our dagger man.

 

[richmondcuse03]

Hope he does well wherever he ends up. Fresh start is the best for everyone.

I’m happy to blame the staff for a lot but I don’t think Bell falls on them.

 

[SwagSocks]

Lots of turnover with all the seniors (5) and two portal right now

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Wishing Chris the best.

 

[rhcuse]

Shot 42% from3-pt in ACC? Did not realize. Apparently AA did not either.

 

[grepal]

Good luck to him. He had his moments here.

 

[RF2044]

Maybe he'll rebound after a change of scenery.

No pun intended.

 

[DilemaCuse]

The last active member of JBs best recruiting class bites the dust

0 NBA draft picks, 0 made it to senior season at SU

 

[Jasoncuse]

I don’t want to say anything mean so I hope he finds a school where he can get quality minutes and find his confidence.

 

[sutomcat]

Best of luck to Chris in the future. If nothing else, he was interesting to watch play.

I think he would do well to drop to a slightly lower level of play.
