Oh, I still think it's crazy!!!  :)

If you were only talking defense, Rak would was so much further ahead of DC as a Junior that DC would barely see the court.  If Keita was on the team he just wouldn't play at all.

If you factor in the rest, it's still no contest.  Rak was a far better passer.  DC is so much weaker with the ball in his hands - still too easy to strip him.  He more than doubled Rak in turnovers per 40 minutes.  Rak's Junior year we were running an ISO offense for CJ, with Grant down low along side him as well as Ennis up top.  As a result, Rak was less a part of the offense then than DC is now (slightly).  We've gotten a bit better with feeding the post the past couple years.  Overall, the only thing where Dajuan may have an edge at all is offensive rebounding.

Even with rebounding, when Rak had similar type players on the back line with him (his Senior year), he topped DC's output.

Who knows though!  It's always hard to debate this stuff (plus, admittedly, I'm a HUGE fan of Rak).

Either way, DC has performed admirably this season after all he's been through.  Wouldn't argue that point.
