Tia Bell brings veteran NC State toughness and interior value
Tia Bell is a 6-3 forward with a long NC State track record and a reputation for doing the dirty work: rebounding, shot-blocking, and physical interior defense. In her career, she finished with 4.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 107 blocks across 87 games, with a standout 2008-09 season that included 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game. She’s the kind of player who helps a team by making the paint uncomfortable, even when the box score stays modest. If you want size, edge, and defensive presence, she fits the bill.
