I think it all depends on IF Fab stays or goes. If Fab stay's, I see either Noel starting at the 4 or backing up Rak and then pushing for major minutes or visa versa with Coleman backing up Fab. The two things that really make it interesting is: 1. What Fab is going to do and 2. How does Rak develop in the off season. The knock on Rak is that he is a bit lazy; Is he willing to put in the time to fulfill his potential? I think Rak has all the potential in the world, but, if he doesn't put in the time and effort, I see Noel starting over him period no questions about it.
No one knows what Fab is going to do and we can only speculate. I think his progression as a player will advance a lot more if he stays than if he goes. The argument is that your soul focus as a pro is bball. IMHO it is hard to gain meaningful game-time minutes when you are relegated to the pine. Young men put way to much emphasis on the idea of the "potential" hype. Although, who can argue with the money that you will make when sitting a bench? It sure is more than what you make as a starter in college. If they are looking at the paycheck, I think they need to put more focus on the potential of a bigger contract when coming in as a more developed player and less on "the hype".
I feel the same way about Dion. I think at the end of the season they will both sit down with JB and the staff and discuss what is best for them. I think Dion's stock has taken a bit of a hit as of late and, in the big picture, it all depends on how they play through the rest of the season, who comes out, and if they can keep their egos in check . I would suggest that both players would benefit immensely from one more year. I think Fab is just now starting to realize the lower levels of how good he can be (as JB has stated; he is at about 30% of what he can/will be), and I think Dion needs a year as a starter to show that he is more than just a 6th man ( he is a good player but such things matter to NBA scouts). All and all I must say that, "IT IS GOOD TO BE AN ORGANGEMEN". Not many fanatics boards are able to have such discussions. Go ORANGEMEN! Euthanize those HUSKIES!
