You can’t cherry pick -  in conference.  Are those Bennys stats when he was a freshman in conference?  Benny as a frosh overall was 33% last year.  (.091 from 3).  He was flat horrible, both talent and mental.  But now he’s a sophomore.

I don’t really need stats to tell me Bell has a sweet stroke, one of the best we’ve had in awhile, and had one of the better freshman SF campaigns in a long time.  6.6 ppg.  My support of his shooting doesn’t mean he doesn’t need work in other areas.

Mintz has a better overall % because he makes a lot of layups.  His outside shooting is not better.  But shooting stats can be a bit goofy anyways as Bells overall shooting % is better than Girard’s.  It’s not like these things are created equally.

People bag on his defense but he’s one of the more active players moving from high to low.   He gets hurt getting caught out of position a lot with inside help.  That’ll improve over time.

If Bell works hard to improve his overall game he has the raw potential and athleticism to be a high level player but I fear that won’t happen and probably not here.
