Chris Bunch - Starts in scrimmage Bell had three points (1-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and three rebounds across 13 minutes in Tuesday's 86-68 exhibition victory over Indiana (PA). Impact Bell (formerly known as Chris Bunch) is part of a young Syracuse team that includes a six-man freshman class, so it was certainly notable he drew the start over fellow freshman wings Justin Taylor and Quadir Copeland. Shooting was a struggle for Bell, however, which resulted in both aforementioned options seeing more minutes and producing more points off the bench. It appears that Judah Mintz, Joe Girard, Benny Williams and Jesse Edwards are all likely set for starting spots, but the small forward role may still be up for grabs. Bell has another exhibition contest Nov. 1 to help make his case.
