It was said they emphasize that as part of the team's strategy because it helps us get some fastbreak or secondary break looks.  It wasn't said that Rak is not willing to run down the court.  Don't twist words to fit your argument.

Rak right now, this very moment, has the size and athleticism to match up well with NBA 4's and 5's.  Add the fact that he has a low post game more polished than a lot of backup 4/5's in the NBA, an improving jumper that will have to be respected, shot blocking ability, and the quickness to chase around some forwards, and you have a journeyman NBA player on your hands.  JB is not saying Rak is going to be a big time NBA player, or even a starter, but you don't need to be either to spend a decade in the League.

I like Roberson, and you could very well be right that he'll be a good NBA player, but I don't see any point in putting down Rak just to prop up Tyler.  Right now, Rak is the better NBA prospect.  Does Roberson have the potential to be better?  Sure.  But he has a lot to work on.  Rebounding alone does not get you NBA checks.
