Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 5139801, member: 837"] I'd be really surprised if Bell gets drafted, particularly considering he is already old by NBA standards. He's an athletic kid but his lateral movement/quickness isn't real good. His best bet is to develop into an all-around scorer and at least a decent team defender. Rooting for him and think he can be a good college player. His ability to put the ball in the basket is impressive -- his ability to catch and shoot quickly with a high release point is pretty special. It's the instinctual part of the game on both ends that desperately needs improvement. Moving without the ball, shooting off screens, helping teammates defensively, getting into passing lanes, knowing what the opponent wants to do with the ball, being physical and fighting for loose balls/rebounds, creating offense with his passing ... he's largely been a standstill, spot-up shooter who occasionally gets a fast-break opportunity or chase-down block.
