Message: [QUOTE="gmacfor3, post: 5139818, member: 4703"] Bell just doesn’t come across as a kid who’s ever had to scrap and claw for anything. He plays with confidence on the offensive edge, but lacks the grit and fight on the defensive end and the boards. If he’s going to make it in the NBA it’s going to have to be as a 3& D type, and right now he’s lacking the D and the intangibles NBA teams are looking for in role players. Here’s hoping he develops a different mindset/intensity this year and becomes a better overall player. He is extremely talented and has all the tools. If he doesn’t I could see him losing some minutes to guys like Westry (if healthy), Taylor, or even Davis who reportedly are more willing to mix it up on the defensive end and do the little things.
