Chris Bell transferring to Cal

I get this sentiment. But I am going to try to be optimistic until we see next year's team play. We have the same coach, but we have Kline, more money, and hopefully a better grasp on what will work Hopefully we do much better in the portal this year, and hopefully Red has learned a few things. I might be Charlie Brown trying to kick a field goal with Lucy holding, but its optimism or doom, so I'm choosing optimism.

I hear ya. It’s a fair take. I’m hoping for the best too but one would hope after three years of cooking Bell would be ready for a senior year in which he sets the league on fire. My snark is mainly because of the lack of development and our track record in portal roulette.

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.

I think Chris could go either way. If he goes up a level to an NCAA tournament team with good coaching and drivers all over the court, he could be wide open for outside threes. That would fit his game much better than Red’s iso offense

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.

He’s going to go somewhere, they’ll teach him play defense, set some picks for him, and he’s going to average 20 points per game on 15 shots per game and less than 2 dribbles per possession.

He could, but will that help his defense as well.

Crazy thing is there was no progression from sophomore to junior year. If anything there was regression.

I think he seriously missed the coaching he got from Gerry.
I know Gerry spent a ton of time last year working on his shot.

He was never my favorite player.
I didnt think much of him after that little temper tantrum earlier this year.


Sigh - so the first 2 portals are my least favorite player (Bell) and my favorite player (Cuffe)

Chis had a lot of skills, but warriors win games and he was not a warrior.

I wish him the best as a three and no D player.

Like Cuffe, he should be easily replaceable unless we totally blow the portal again.

Peak Klay Thompson basically.
 
I hope he goes to a P4 team (ie: St.John’s :) ) that has a good coach and system in place. How he performs in that setting will let us know if the problem is with our coaching or with Chris. I wish him the best and hope it works out for him because he showed before this season, promise as an NBA player if he improved his overall game.

His cold streaks blew him up.

That was more like an ice age. I’m sorry but a whole month without a 3 at any other legit program would turn the entire fanbase against him regardless of what he did after that.

This is ridiculous what if crap. What if he ends up with 2 guards that can both make 3’s and a PF that can shoot too prob going to have plenty of 3’s whether there’s a system or not.

Agreed. That's separate from statistical impact though.

A well put together team? I think that’s what you call that.

It’s going to be hard for him to make it on the Johnnies 452 man roster next season.
