Regardless of JB's opinion I think Rak has a real chance to be in the league for a long stretch. I'm not saying he will be a star or even a regular starter ever but just about every playoff team this year could have used Rak on their roster and he'd have helped them. No matter what he can defend the rim, run the floor, rebound and score near the rim. I don't think its much of a stretch to think he could last in the league for 8 years as a backup front line player who plays some 4 and some 5. I actually think he could blossom into a very important role/bench player in the NBA but he can at least, as is provide quality front line depth for quite a few years if healthy. You have to remember the biggest reason he is not projected as a late lottery or mid first round pick is his age which has nothing to do with his actual ability to play basketball productively. Imagine him on a team where he isn't the focus of the defense but still plays aggressive assertive offense when he receives the ball. I think he could really benefit from getting easy looks in the NBA.
