I think its a fair assessment to say that Rak is a first round talent who fell into the draymond green category of being a 4 year guy who blossomed slowly. Looking at things qualitatively vs just the numbers is a good way to go here. He is clearly first round talent based upon his sr year and his workout feedback. You need to look at 4 year guys data as well as sr all americans and model their performance out. The 2nd round is often a pool of euro stashes and early entries who shouldnt have left. Add in a small pool of upperclassmen and you can see how easily 2nd round stats are skewed and the model fairly useless.

As for SU having a dismal track record i disagree. We have had some disappointments no doubt. But add mcw grant ennis rak as incompletes and lets see where things go. Jonny wouldnt be a bust if he didnt get hurt and wes and dion were drafted too high. Again dismal is a strong word... And i would strongly disagree. Hart and etan were role players for a long time. Arinze has been in and out. Fab Melo was a flop. Dion isnt done yet plus the other youngsters i mentioned. Just keeping it real as well.
