Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 1304503, member: 86"] Meh. He's absolutely at the top of opposing scouting reports each game. The #1 priority is to not lose him in the half court...and pick him up as soon as he crosses mid court when he's off the ball on the break. His guy rarely doubles down and offers help to scrape when Rak has the ball. He's the one guy other teams don't want going off and getting into a rhythm. Teams have chosen to double from Robersons defender or Gbinje...which is why both have gotten as many looks as they have. Gbinje gets a lot of baseline looks in the half court. Would think teams may start rethinking the scrape from Gbinje's defender now...which should really free up Roberson...because almost no one is playing Rak straight up. Cooney hasn't been able to get free, but to say he's not the top defensive assignment would be incorrect. The problem is that he is defendable if you spy him with an athletic defender with foot speed. [/QUOTE]
