It was the basketball specific skills. Bello was by far the most athletic player on the team, his year here. He didn't play because he didn't develop the basketball skills.
Smart at Texas wanted 3 guards on the floor at all times. So Barnett was pushed out. Him not being a true big and not a true guard. Mizzou runs a different system than Barnes or Smart did at Texas, so he will be used differently. Maybe it fits his skills more.
