Yeah, but last year he played the 2 and only shot 38.1%. As for minutes, he really isn't playing that many less. At Syracuse, he played 33.0, 27.7, 34.1, and 34.7 per game. At Clemson he's averaging 32.8 right now.
Eh, I gave it a shot
Recipe for success. Good looks have been hard to come by at Syracuse for a number of years.
Exactly - Joe is getting better looks off design, and he looks in a ton better shape than he was when he was here.
He has been doing that last 3-4 games. Now if he can keep up the effort when he isnt making shots, then we aremaking big strides. Next year i can see JJ, Cope, Chris, Brown, snd a new center with Mccloud , Freeman, and Moore off bench with Taylor spot time. I would really enjoy that team. Bell will need to improve his handle a bit because next year i can see teams over defend him outside and he can drive and pullup at 10 ft or so.
Wow i forgot about Chance. we will be stacked if we get a decent center. Damn. all Jr.s.

Was going to post similar. Bell's development could be "old school" where a kid stays for 3-4 years and turns into a very good to great player as an upper classman. Hopefully, he stays and continues his upward trajectory we've seen the last few games.

That is all we can ask for. He may never be Karl Malone on the boards but he is improving. What a gorgeous jump shot. He always seems to get a block or two also. Some good hustle and improving D. Kudos to Chris for working hard.
Well, IMO it was a ridiculous take to begin with that has certainly not aged well. I'll give you props for owning up to it. As a sophomore, I hope that he, as well as the others continue to work to improve their games.
I hope you say the same to Jake who basically confirmed it. It wasn't a take.
Who's Jake? The poster?

He reminds me of Preston Shumpert the way he glides around the court
If he feels like chiming in here, I have no problem repeating what I posted.
Bell earned his minutes as a freshman regardless of whether or not something on the side got him the starting spot. He fully deserves the starting spot this year. Even if it is 100% true that he secured the official starting spot because of some off the court stuff, he still earned the minutes he played as a freshman. There is a reason he played more than his small-forward competition last season and wasn't taken out immediately like a Dajuan Coleman type starter. He was the better player. While I am overall a bigger fan of Q if we are ranking forwards this season, Bell has continued to fully earn the minutes and starting role he has received. I am sure we can agree there.
Well, if it's 100% true, that would be the opposite of earning your mins.
