Is this a polite way of saying that he was benched?

Article from the Syracuse perspective

That wasn’t the case, as Bell regressed significantly from deep, making just 35% of his triples this year. He was one of the most disappointing players on a Syracuse team that struggled en route to one of the worst seasons in program history, and a few weeks ago, Bell announced that he would be entering the transfer portal. ​

​

Even after a down year, Bell’s shot-making would provide some much-needed spacing for Syracuse’s offense, which struggled last year without much of a perimeter threat. Outside of adding sharpshooter Nate Kingz in the transfer portal, the Orange don’t have anyone who can shoot the ball like Bell.​

​

Bell would also provide some size for Syracuse, which is still without a true big man after the departure of Eddie Lampkin. He would be undersized at the five, but he’s just a year removed from averaging half a block and a steal per game, so his defensive tools could help mask some of the struggles the Orange might have in the paint.​

​

​

It might be awkward at first for Bell to come back, but Syracuse could use someone with his skill set, and it would give Bell a chance to help redeem himself in the eyes of Syracuse fans with the Orange looking to contend next year.​

This thread is interesting. Cuse fans say he doesn't rebound and more importantly from a Jai standpoint, he doesn't defend.

So, if he commits are we going to be upset?

Streakiness aside, this team needs a forward like him with height, confidence in their jumper, and experience.
