Bobcats guard Raja Bell has made a career out of figuring out what coaches need, and delivering it. This article talks about the need early in his to find his niche:
"Coach (Larry Brown, who signed Bell to a 10-day contract as coach of the Philadelphia 76ers in 2001 and is Bell's current coach with the Bobcats) was going to play anyone who could lock someone down,” Bell said. “I was on a 10-day (contract) and just looking for another 10-day. If that's how I was going to eat, then that's what I was going to do.''
It speaks to Bell's savvy and willingness to please that he gave himself over so fully to defense. He'd constantly give up his body fighting through screens or taking charges.
