Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 1403190, member: 906"] Mike will be working with 2 freshmen bigs, a sophmore who wasn't up to the speed of the game last year and Dajuan who couldn't stay healthy and now has 2 bad knees. He has no returning post up threat. We can push Mike to do the best he can, but[U][B] imo[/B][/U] lets not put any unnecessary standards on him this year. Looking back at Raks jr year, everyone says we didn't utilize him enough. #1. his soft hook wasn't as consistant or soft. #2. he wasn't ready to go left with that explosivness, although he went better right then his freshmen soph years #3. his jumpshot wasn't nearly as ready. I was saying how much of a stud rak was at the beginning of his jr season during the canada games as he really improved his mobility. But, his shooting touch and ability to go left hadn't evolved to his senior year. [/QUOTE]
