I'll take Jesse over Benny and Bell 8 days a week and twice more on Sunday.  Bell is about as complete a zero as you can get on any given night and when he kinda sorta if you squint has a relatively good game, he's still not good.  IMO, basketball stats are about the overall season, anyone can piece together a few hot stretches here and there.  But the overall stats tell the story.  He's one of the worst players in the ACC with over 200 minutes played (outside of a handful of BC and Louisville players).  When he's on the court, everyone else has to hedge towards him because he's such a non-entity.

I wish I knew what people expected out of Jesse.  By most every number or stat, he's easily the best center SU has had in a very long time.  His per 40m or 100 possession numbers are all better than Rak, Fab, AO, etc, with the exception of Rak's points in his one season when he was the only option - and even then it's pretty close.  Jesse even averages fewer fouls than those guys. It's hard to shine playing the zone and being responsible for everything inside the 3-pt arc, as well as playing in offense where he's the 3rd option, but Jesse is doing a helluva job.
