Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 128364, member: 40"] My take is that I don't think that Rakim has any post moves at this stage of his developmental curve. Obviously, he can dunk if he gets the ball in scoring position [of course, he's an athletic 6-9]. But in reality, they aren't pounding the ball into him at all, because there's not much he can do when he receives an entry pass. I actually think that he seems like he has the raw materials to hit that 10 foot jumper, he just isn't confident in that shot yet. Which means that his offense is relegated to put backs / dunk attempts when others penetrate and set him up. Rak has great raw materials, and a terrific frame for a frosh. He's going to be a very good player for us down the road. Him getting some developmental playing time now is good, but people shouldn't expect too much by way of scoring--yet. [/QUOTE]
