I actually like some things I've seen recently from Rak on defense. He's very quick on his feet for a guy his height and he CAN move out to guard the wing (as a 4). The unfortunate converse of that quickness is that, at either inside position, he's not heavy or strong enough yet to hold his ground for rebounds -- that will come.
 
Right now -- with the team forced to go with a smaller lineup with Rak/Keita in the middle -- is a great time form them to learn under fire. Even if we loose 1-2 more games with Fab out, the ratings will forgive us (as long as he comes back) and those two will get better.
 
If Fab stays out indefinately, this is a top 15 doughnut team. Without a post anchor, on defense our guards won't be able to take as many risks -- we will allow more points and our opportunities for runouts will drop off.  If Keita picks up fouls, the answer is a freshman who's not yet up to big east toughness standards. Not a pretty picture, as we saw the other night.
