Agree that Bello was worth the risk (even taking him from Baylor was worth a flyer). He probably would have been a decent player in Mike Anderson's system - big guard who could catch up on a press break. Would be good in the press. Still would have been awful in the half court offense though.

I don't know if it's that the kid didn't work hard - some guys just never "get" it. It's a big adjustment to go from being a high school player that's athletic as hell and can get by with zero tangible skill to going to P5 basketball against guys who can stop all of your unskilled athletic moves and having to basically re-learn the game. Look at Marshall Brown - he never got as good as his base physical skill could have been.

Barnett is likely somewhere in the middle between a non-factor and a difference maker. If I had to guess I'd say he will be somewhere around 8-10 PPG and ok but not great defensively.

               Who have you heard that from? (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 12/13 09:37:19
          I guess that's what I don't get about all the hype. - StaleyTiger MU - 12/13 09:21:40
               "hype"? What hype? He's a former 4-star player that I'm - mizzou john MU - 12/13 10:02:49
                    There are plenty of examples of people hyping him up. - StaleyTiger MU - 12/13 10:11:38

                    RE: Opportunity and role - StlWeir MU - 12/13 09:40:50
                         Right, that season. And then he avged 9.2 ppg and 3.4 boards - FIJItiger MU - 12/13 09:45:16
               He is Kim's last hope.(nm) - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 12/13 09:30:43
                    He is, and considering we need him to be 2013-14 - Eggs MU - 12/13 09:38:01
                         Yeah, I agree. He will have to average a double-double - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 12/13 09:41:29
                              My thoughts exactly - Eggs MU - 12/13 09:43:43
               No, go to youtube and watch his highlights, - nerdmachine KC - 12/13 09:28:15
                    I just watched this video and wasn't that impressed. - StaleyTiger MU - 12/13 09:34:01

               RE: I guess that's what I don't get about all the hype. - stl0404 MU - 12/13 09:25:02
               I honestly think it's more hope than hype - Eggs MU - 12/13 09:23:23
          lmao Deuce Bello, you are something special(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 12/13 09:12:25
               what have you seen from Barnett that makes him better - NWMizzouFan MU - 12/13 09:21:22
                    I've seen Bello play here in person - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 12/13 09:25:26
                         Yup, Bello was probably at his best as a freshman(nm) - Eggs MU - 12/13 09:28:57
          Deuce Bello averaged about 2.4 PPG as a power 5 player - Eggs MU - 12/13 09:11:44
               Right, for 184 total points when he joined MU as a junior - FIJItiger MU - 12/13 09:16:23
                    Sure, but at the same time, Bello got a chance - Eggs MU - 12/13 09:20:20
                         And as clarified, I didn't say he was - FIJItiger MU - 12/13 09:31:52
                    This is also an atrociously bad take nm - TigerUppercut MU - 12/13 09:17:20
                         Thanks. But not really controversial/debatable(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 12/13 09:18:23
                              You should probably look up Barnett on youtube - nerdmachine KC - 12/13 09:24:17
                                   LOL, your take on anything is comical. After predicting - NWMizzouFan MU - 12/13 09:30:34
                                   Looks like every video is from high school (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 12/13 09:30:04
                                        I believe you loved Bello based on his hs video - nerdmachine KC - 12/13 09:38:09
                                             No, I don't recall ever loving Bello. I think I was fairly - FIJItiger MU - 12/13 09:42:42
                                                  To respond, rather than just make a flippant comment - TigerUppercut MU - 12/13 09:53:09
