Pretty amazing what happens when you get chances. Rak has certainly improved, but it's hard to average close to a double double when you don't get the FG attempt opportunities (like in the past).

That being said, he's significantly improved his footwork. Still needs to work on passing out of the double teams-- this needs to be focus number one in practice. Why? Two reasons. 1) It's obvious we are going to feed Rak in the post. Teams understand this and will have to double down because he will have an advantage over most players due to his size. 2) A result of 1, this leaves guys open. Worked perfectly last night when Rak dished up to Joseph (I think), who then fed Cooney for a 3. Why is this big? Because Trevor can step into an open look. This is HUGE for him, and the team.

Another priority for practice, and it might seem really silly, is the use of bounce passes. We turned the ball over a lot because we were throwing chest passes and they were getting tipped. Bounce passes have a place in the game for a reason. Joseph in particular can improve here.
