TEAMS

T.J. Bell

High School: Charleston
AAU Team: Indiana Elite
Class: 2012
Position: Small Forward
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 190 lbs
Notes: This kid as future phenom written all over him.  His potential as a player in unlimited and he's got the right people behind him.  T.J. is a true 6'6" and isn't skinny, standing 190 lbs before ever touching a weight. He's got good perimeter skills and, though he may not be there just yet, he will become a bluechip prospect in the future.  In his first contest, Bell was pretty nervous, this being his first showcase ever.  He played somewhat passive but got better as the day went on, hitting midrange shots, pushing the ball, and getting rebounds.  He's very long and is just 13.  When he develops a killer instinct, He will be a serious contender for the state's top prospect.
