Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 1616635, member: 210"] Raks biggest challenges were coaches who wouldn't feature him, guards who wouldn't pass to him and his own head. The talent and skills were always there but his first three years he had to defer to nba guards who somehow didn't know how to make an in interior pass. Also he was playing under JBs designated whipping boy program for his first three years and never played loose because he was always waiting for the hook. There were any number of debates on this board about whether Rak a) deserved the treatment JB gave him and b) whether he had the personality to take it. I think after multiple years we thought Rak was gone only to be surprised he came back. Much to Raks credit he stuck it out until JB had no choice but to feature him and let him play though his mistakes. [/QUOTE]
