Bell-Haynes joins the Herd after playing for the Fraport Skyliners of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) – the highest level of professional club basketball in Germany this winter. He averaged 7.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game with the Skyliners. 
 
The former Catamount is no stranger to the Bucks organization as he received an invite to their 2018 NBA Summer League team in Las Vegas. In five summer league games with the Bucks, the 6-2 floor general finished second on the team with a 61.5% field goal percentage and ranked fourth with a 33.3% three-point percentage.
 
The Toronto, Ontario native finished his UVM career with 1,629 points and climbed to No. 8 on the program's all-time scoring list. Bell-Haynes also cracked the top-five all-time with 518 career assists. He earned Associated Press (AP) Honorable Mention All-America honors as a junior and senior and became the first Catamount under Cioffi Men's Basketball Head Coach John Becker to receive an invitation to the NABC Reese's College All-Star Game.
 
Bell-Haynes will sport the No. 20 jersey for Wisconsin and joins the team on the road for Saturday's (March 9) game against the Canton Charge (Cleveland Cavaliers). The opening tip is set for 1 p.m. ET and fans can watch on Facebook Live.
