Bell is geared to score the while playing out front. TJ can really dial in from deep range or simply pull-up and knockdown the mid-range jumper. Bell will create his own shot while taking good shot selection along the way. TJ is a player who can really rattle off some buckets in a hurry while in the game.

Despite having a great Summer, Bell is a player I feel is still underrated from a Statewide Perspective. He has all the offensive tools to be an impact player at the next level. TJ has a terrific handle and can make shots from multiple levels of the floor. This Summer Bell was playing with Upward Stars Columbia and Westwood High School, and on both teams, he was the ball-dominant guard with a responsibility to score and get teammates involved.

Bell plays the game with some swagger for the Redhawks that is for sure. TJ never left the floor today it seemed as we had him for 18 points in a tough win over Spartanburg HS. Bell was able to drop some runners in the lane when he wasn’t pulling up from down behind the three-point line. TJ put the Redhawks in position today to get the big road win in the Upstate at the Coaches Classic.

Bell can really get after it and score the ball from the backcourt. TJ came on this summer with the Redhawks and with Upward Stars Columbia with his play. Bell can score the rock from all 3 levels and create his own shot when needed. TJ plays the game with a good deal of confidence and swagger at times. He sees the floor well when it comes to passing it to an open teammate he will look to penetrate-kick after touching the paint.

Bell makes the offense go for the Redhawks. TJ can really score the ball while on the floor. TJ has shifty ball-skills to get by defenders on the way to the cup.
Look for TJ in the next addition of Stock-Risers and also for the Redhawks to make some noise this season in the Midlands.

Bell makes the engine go for the Upward Stars Columbia squad. TJ has a knack for scoring the rock from anywhere on the floor. He was able to get the ball to the cup when he wasn’t cross overing a defender. Bell made some good headway this summer with Westwood HS at the SCBCA Team Camp last month.
