Villanova is known for its 3 guard set, and with its acquisition of James Bell that set got even better. The Florida native is a shooting guard that stands at 6'4 with a long wingspan. After watching film of Bell I have this assessment: He is an all around excellent player. He does a little bit of everything and at the end of the night he stuffs the stat sheet.
Bell does a good job of using his long arms to play the passing lanes on the defensive end. And at 6'4 weighing 210 pounds, he uses his muscles to rebound with authority and has the ball skills to lead the break. When it comes to shooting he has a nice intermediate shot with needing a little work on his 3 point range. Regardless, Bell knows when necessary he can take it to hole with authority and draw fouls. And with a nice stroke from the charity strip he is a guard that you want to have the ball in his hands at the end of the game....well next to Scottie Reynolds.
Check out his video and let me know what you think of the pick up by Villanova....
