I'm going to keep deferring to JB on this one:

"Rakeem isn’t coming – he’s there. He could have gotten there last year but the focus was on the guards and forwards. We had more options then.” - JB

We could have had some of this last year, and probably a bit his Sophomore year.  I do think the "want" applies to his Frosh year where he did seem to float at times and lacked hustle (and BMK did "earn" a lot of his minutes by sheer hustle alone), and early in his Sophomore year he was a bit lackadaisical on the court as well.  For the last 2/3 of his Sophomore year on though I thought he showed effort - a lot of it.  We just never tried to get the ball in and BMK was always looming in the event that Rak attempted a shot and missed or picked up a foul.  (Slight exaggeration)

JB felt running an ISO offense for CJ Fair, and having Cooney running around like a chicken with his head cut off was going to be our best offense last year.  We never deviated.  No clue why.  It didn't particularly help Cooney as the season wore on, and CJ was never an ISO player.
