Blue - please pass along whatever it is you're smoking / eating / drinking.

Sr Rak was a 3rd team All-American and an offensive powerhouse in the paint. 
He had moves and counters, sweet little baby-hook over both shoulders, and was an anchor on D in the paint. 
Plus had developed a nice faceup game by then too. 
Averaged 17.5, 9.1, and 2.5 blocks / game.

Also - he was listed at anywhere from [B]240lbs [/B]up as a Senior. 
(he came in as a Frosh listed at 222.)
Here's his DraftExpress bio:

[B]Grant, CMac, and Donnie are all lanky beanpoles.  [/B]

Donnie has some pretty good handles for a tall dude. 
He's got broad shoulders, and seems to have put on some upper body mass this season. 
But he's still got spindly legs, so until he learns what a squat rack is, he won't really beef up his lower half.

I know it's a different game now, but I don't recall Grant or CMac being able to handle like Donnie does.
Some of the moves I've seen him do on O, remind me of Mali Richardson.

And I *HEART* all the highlights of him ripping down a board, then firing an outlet pass for a fastbreak hoop the other way.    That's some DC-esque talent there.
