Michigan State's Charlie Bell is one of America's premier defensive stoppers.

	Charlie Bell has been rising to the occasion for the defending champion Spartans.

He will be tested this week by North Carolina's offensive wizard, Joseph Forte.

If I had to choose an All-Rambo team -- guys who get the job done on the defensive end -- Bell would be my first choice on the perimeter.

He has also improved offensively, as shown by his career-high, 31-point performance vs. Eastern Washington.

Bell hit 12 of 13 from the floor in that win.

He can handle the rock and nail the perimeter jump shot, making him a greater threat.

Not only is he an offensive key for Tom Izzo, he also provides the leadership needed, a role filled by Mateen Cleaves last season.

Bell is on his way to having a super senior season.
