troy-bell Troy Bell - The Draft Review boston Troy Bell - The Draft Review

2003 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Quick first step allows him to penetrate on command and because of this he does a solid job of drawing fouls for easy scores ... Explosive scorer who can reel off some big points in a hurry ... Solid ball handler who always looks to push the ball up the court to ignite the fast break where he is a solid finisher ...Has some leadership qualities and when the game is on the line he wants the ball... For his size he is an excellent leaper which explains why he is a capable rebounder at his position ... Has the potential to be a proficient defender due to his exceptional quickness and fast hands ... Smart player who understands how to play the passing lanes to get easy steals ... Possesses wonderful body control when he's driving to the basket he has the ability to adjust in the air to make acrobatic lay-in's ... Has improved on moving without the ball, something that can be hard for players like Bell who prefer to have the ball in thier hands to create ... Due to his work ethic, he has enhanced certain aspects of his game each year.

Weakness: Bell isn't what you would call a pure point guard who looks to set-up teammates first ... He prefers to shoot first, pass second ... Shot selection isn't the best as he settles for way too many 3-point attempts ... Average decision maker with the ball in his hands due to his tendency to get careless ... While he is a very good defender, Bell at times can overplay his man which can lead to some quick fouls ... At this point he is an average long-range shooter, so getting consistency would be of great benefit ... He's still learning how to get teammates involved in the offense which exemplifies his need for overall growth in his point guard skills ... Can struggle sometimes when playing in a half court offense as opposing defenders will often sag off him to cut his penetration leaving him to settle for outside jumpers ... Inconsistency plagued him constantly during his junior campaign ... Turnovers continue to trouble Bell at times as he can make some questionable passes and has a habit of trying to make the spectacular play ...
