Message: [QUOTE="AlaskaSU, post: 58017, member: 230"] Most bigs improve over time but some don't. About the only thing I can conclude, based on Seikaly and some of UCons bigs, is that some of those that come in with the least experience are the ones that make the biggest jumps. It would not surprise me if Baye has a higher upside than Rak, but then again, it could be the other way around. Only averaging 10 pts a game as a HS senior means that Rak has a long road to travel to obtain an acceptable offensive game by NBA standards. Will he develop like Otis Hill (who might have had the best footwork of any big in his senior year), etc? or not develop like Roberts, spaz boy, (to be fair - he played without knees)? Unless Rak develops his offense he will not be an undergraduate NBA pick. On the other hand, Baye has actually made a nice baseline jumper during a real game. With more experience, more strength, and good health, he may continue to surprise. [/QUOTE]
