Troy Bell Profile

Bell is a scoring point guard with great quickness and is a great leaper; he can dunk without much of a running start. He has a good shooting touch out to college three-point range, one that has been streaky over his career, but he will usually make open shots and moves well without the ball. He doesn’t dribble into traffic nearly as much as he did as a freshman, but most aren’t sold on him as a point guard. He is automatic at the free throw line and is adept at drawing fouls, as he is a strong finisher driving to the basket.

He has the physical tools to play the point, but the point guard mentality is not entirely there. His ball-handling could also stand a little improvement. Defensively, he improved over the course of his college career, but is not a stopper.

Bell could sneak into the first round, but regardless of where he is drafted, there is likely a place for him in the NBA. He’s very quick and knows how to put the ball in the basket, and the NBA needs players who can do that.
