Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 4450783, member: 966"] I started watching yesterday’s game with the intent on focusing on Bell, to see exactly what he was doing. Well, that lasted only briefly, as he did exactly nothing and was pulled and didn’t see the court until Late. I‘m not seeing how he will contribute. Granted, it’s early, amd people are recalling that Southerland and Nichols didn’t play much/well as frosh. But, didn’t we see signs from them? Commitment to doing [I]something[/I]? Bunch is like Mookie Jones but without the passion. It really feels like he has a guarantee of a start, but the rest is up to performance, and that may put more pressure on him than if he were brought up and along in a less contrived manner. But, yeah—Brown. What can Brown do for you? A little of everything—except the long ball. And that’s the problem—he won’t space the court. But, everything else. He came in and after the first (bad) defensive possession, he had three consecutive fantastic plays. A contributor. I don’t know what his ceiling is, though. Could very well be that he‘s a shower and not a grower, and this is close to ‘it.’ But he could also be the next utility knife and a stronger Marek. If he gets a jumper, look out. I really hope Bell hits a few 3s to build himself back up. Justin “Jason” Taylor hit a beaut yesterday, and that was tremendously encouraging. It is said that he hits everything in warmups, with perfect form. How is Bell in practice and warmups? Are his game struggles reflective of his practices? Is this something likely to just ‘click’ one day and then he’s Reggie Miller? I’m not convinced. I fear he’ll be our first defection. I hope he’s being managed properly—psyche and expectations. And, again, I don’t think the starting role is right—not at this point. Maybe he could regain it, but right now, it hasn’t been earned. [/QUOTE]
