As in James Rahon? LOL.... The assassin is going to absolutely KILL it next year. I agree. He is going to want to prove people wrong and have a good senior season.

Rahon will get reduce minutes next year and Fish is probably sick of seeing his disappearing act during big games. You guys also forgot about Rahon throwing up bricks after bricks during some of the games toward the end of the season.

The kid was playing on one foot most of the season. Not to mention he was our best defender at times. Not going to argue he missed alot of shots but as Tom said he will be on a mission and prove himself next year.

Rahon throwing up bricks after bricks during some of the games toward the end of the season. Due to the foot injury early in the season, and due to playing tough defense for 30-35 minutes per game. You can't shoot the 3 effectively when you have tired legs. Next year with more players in the rotation, and with James likely coming off the bench and playing less total minutes, I guarantee that Rahon will shoot a higher percentage.

If you went to both the exhibition games like myself, you saw that before Rahon got hurt he was the best player on the floor for those two games. And I do realize they were exhibition games.

Judging from this, there's about a 98% chance we land Pelle.

He was killing it. Even when his shot wasn't falling though, his perimeter defense was hands down the best on the team. This freshtodeath guy is a clueless kid who just started watching basketball, don't let him irk you. As for Pelle, I expect a hard verbal by Saturday morning the latest. If the Broncos can have Manning, why cant the Aztecs have Pelle.

That's because Jamaal wasn't on the floor yet. Jamaal dropped 31 in only his 2nd game of the season....and he only played 18 mins.

Lower quality opponent --> Defense is easier --> Less fatigue --> Easier to make shots when less fatigued. This is all speculation, of course. But this is why I, and many others, think Rahon should come off the bench for a few minutes at a time. Put him in for a bit, have him play great defense and let him take some shots while giving a starter a rest. Then have him come out to rest his legs so his shot doesn't suffer. ~15 minutes a game is perfect for a guy like Rahon.

I dont think you will need to worry about Rahon starting next year, I just do not see it happening with the players we have.

With all the talent we will have next year 15 to 20 minutes a game may be it for Rahon. The good news is I expect him to benefit greatly playing with less fatigue.

I think Rahon will get 10/20 minutes depending on how hot he is on any given night.

Ok, I'll bite...Rahon can't transfer out unless he were to go to a non-D1 school. Also, he will be part of the regular rotation and I think will be much more effective off the bench (and 100% healthy). Geez.

Well that's not my fault Jamaal wasn't on the floor and serving his suspension for his DUI. All I can tell you is what I saw.

But he still looked the best on the team those two nights.
