Chris Bell transferring to Cal

[Orangezoo]

Yeah, I won't rehash last season because the vibes are good now. Everything about their talent evaluation last year was a failure, Bell included. Hopefully we're on a far better path now.

I think it was logical to see the potential that Chris could have a big year, at least offensively. Without the absolute disaster at PG plus injuries still would have made it a bad year even if Chris balled out. That said his struggles on top of the rest and it was a disaster.

Ofc Westry and bell are hooping now. Hoping this was just a one game thing, will be sick if bell goes off all season and kingz ends up being a bust from 3

Kingz shot 44% from 3 last year. Even bell in his best year for us was not doing that from 3. He will definitely not be a bust. We have stats for this stuff. And he can actually do other things besides shoot the 3, unlike Bell.

They are putting up stats. Bells best game came in a game Cal lost and a game they were getting boat raced until a late rally where Chris did get hot. Chance is putting up big numbers for a much lower level team and mostly in losses. Neither of those should do anything but allow us to be happy for them in getting run and putting up some numbers but there isn’t anything to lament with respect to this team

I don't miss him. Not one bit. That coaches thought a team could be built around him is one of the most mystifying things I've ever witnessed.

Same. Black cloud on the bench and in the locker room.

Something fishy with Chance. Played just a few minutes. Showed nothing. A few months later tearing it up?

By a few months you mean, a year? Funny how being healthy actually makes him a better basketball player.

The jury is still out on Kingz until he actually starts hitting shots. Previous pct not in an orange uniform really mean nothing. Learning how to shoot in the Dome seems to be different.

Uh, no, not really.

He’s an active and willing defender.
Can drive it to the rim.
Has more rebounds than a dead man on the regular.
Not a black hole - he’s made a few nice passes.
Appears to be a good teammate.

Agreed that his 3 ball shooting has been underwhelming so far, but that’s not the only thing he brings to the table.
Unlike his predecessor.
