Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 280493, member: 1423"] I agree, there is flexibility here. Rak can certainly play the 5, as we saw at Cinci, and that would make the lineup even faster. But Rak's skillset fits the 4 and that's where we'll need him. Since he's not bulky and has limited low post offense, he'll be the perfect compliment to DC2. Unfortunately, Rak had trouble adjusting to a complimentary role last year. But I think this is the year he adjusts and really helps us. Besides, we need Rak to guard the wing in our defense. Asking a 280 pound guy to run out there is not realistic. Better to have some beef (DC2) at C to keep opposing bigs out of the lane...this frees up Rak to rebound and block shots. [/QUOTE]
