Seen this kid play about 8 or 9 times now and has never impressed me once. I don't think I ever saw him score in double figures against a good opponent. He averaged 13 & 9 his senior year & even those numbers are slightly inflated because they had some cupcakes on their schedule that he could dominate. Granted his high school coach ran a ridiculous system that didn't get him the ball enough & i think he'll be better at 'cuse than he was in high school, but he's slightly overrated right now.
@Hauler24 He's good defensively, & should slide in perfectly to Cuse's zone...however most guys that are 6'9", athletic w/long arms are able to dominate defensively in high school...i was more speaking to his offensive game which needs a lot of work/refining that he should get under boeheim.in rakeem's defense, he was not coached well/developed in high school & he very much will be at Cuse. he doesn't always look focused/into it & has some bad body language...i'm just going off what I saw live
gonna need him next year when Rick leaves, team will be stacked at guards, if Xmas, Keita and Melo step it up they're final 4 good (assuming K Jo will stay)
