I think the biggest problem with Rak where we lose out is girth and wingspan in taking up space in the zone and while setting picks for the High PNR. On the flip side.. Rak is a bigtime rebounder when his head in is in the game. He instinctively gets good position on the weak side and goes up quickly to get the board. I think we are a better rebounding team with Rak at the 5. Its difficult to assess at this point.. if he gets more games under his belt maybe the chemistry gets better on offense. I did notice as K-Jo settled down there was more room along the baseline for him to operate than when Fab or BMK is in the game. I really like what JB is doing using the centers to throw that pass from the top of the key to cutting guards .. using our size advantage in the backcourt. If Rak can start progressing with getting better position to put the ball in the hoop in the post.. who knows how bad of a loss this really is. Guardplay and the ability to get to the rim is what is going to be a difference maker come tourney time. Both Rak and BMK can protect the rim. Im optomistic for Fab returning as we all should be as an orange family but I think the tank is much fuller than we thought with Rak on our side.
