Ryan Tootell and Colter Nuanez caught up with former Montana Grizzly David Bell, who played under Don Holst and Pat Kennedy. Bell came to Missoula after playing at Porterville Community College in California, and he came ready to shoot. Bell averaged 15.6 points during his time in Missoula and averaged over eight 3-point attempts per game back in the early 2000's. He has used that sweet shooting stroke to carry him to a 16-year career in professional basketball that has brought him all over the world from places like Butte to Brussels.
