    And that's my point. Many people see him as that. I see him out of the league in three years. Hence a bust compared to most peoples predictions/opinions.

    I'm not sure Bell will be out of the league in 3 years simply because players like him have shown to get 2nd and 3rd chances at the minimum after their rookie contract is up.
    However I do have serious questions about his strength.
    The zone OU played thoughout the season, matchup or not did well to hide his strength. However(sprained ankle or not) Bell let his man push him under the basket on a basic FT three times in a row.
    imo has serious questions about if he can play against NBA comp. Just like Collins.

    However this forum seems to think Bell was a can't-miss-prospect.

    Wow, people complain about the NBA, that video started with 3:08 of game time, I saw it was 19 minutes long, figured it would show a lot of celebration, interviews, etc. Nope. 19 minutes to finish the last 3 minutes of that game.

    Jordan Bell is an ideal 2nd round pick. He will have no pressure whatsoever, plays hard, he's athletic and can watch a guy like Draymond, another 2nd rounder who people thought wouldn't last, impact the game is a bunch of different ways.

    Wow. I don't watch college basketball, but there's a lot of big names in that game: Curry, McCollum, Rivers, and the Plumlee brothers.

    And wow....Lehigh likes some big girls, lol.

    ....not that there's anything wrong with that....
