I think in terms of build and athleticism T-rob compares.. I just don't see it in their games. T-rob really liked the mid-range jumper even though he wasn't all that effective with it. Additionally as you mentioned Matt - T-Rob never developed the footwork and Rak has early signs of that. Rak looks comfortable working with his back to the basket on the baseline and right in front of the hoop. He also plays with a more measured approach as opposed to T-Rob the spaz. In terms of what he can be - I think he can be an Al Horford type of guy. Ferocious rebounder with a touch on the jump shot that continues to develop and also with the ability to get the ball make a move and throw it down. K-Mart was a freak athletically and I don't see Rak having the same kind of motor. Horford seems to have more of that same quietly go about your business approach. At this point its just opinion and throwing out a guess but after some thought that would be the type of player I think he could be.
 
As for T-Rob.. if he had ever been able to mesh bball IQ with his hustle and athleticism.. he could have been a poor mans NOAH.. instead he was .. well yeah.. working hard at dominating for the LA defenders.
