I think MCW will get BE most improved player award.
 
Getting Noel will be huge.
I agree that one of our bigs will play the four unless Grant shows he can hit the boards, play some scrappy ball, and give some offense. Then it is possible Grant Fair and James will be our three forward rotation.
 
I don't see Rak as a four because he is made to block shots and rebound at the five. He hasn't shown the rebounding ability at the four that JB will be looking for from our bigs. I would like to see Keita[B] try[/B] some four if Noel decides to redshirt for us (joking).
But seriously Keita likes to jump into crowds, block off recovery defense, block shots off of one foot more then Rak does, which are traits of a four. And he likes to slide some. While you don't need to slide as a wing in the zone it makes you a better defender when you do. Rak was more of a anchor this year IMO.
 
But the problem with Rak at the five leaves the question, Will Dajuan and Rak be on the floor together? Maybe DC's boxing out and  strong armlength to do so  will light a spark for Rak to play the four. We will see though.
