Now he isn't showing anything and you have to be worry about that as a 4 year guy. The pace of the game maybe overwhelming for him even at the SL level.
can't disagree with that. At the same time guys like Kerr, Rautins, Fisher thrive when they have OTHER guys who are attracting double teams. When the kickout and pass around the perimeter happens, that's when they earn their dough. Lots of guys taking more shots than they normally would in a real game cause they need to score, just the nature of this time of year.
Rautins hasn't hit the open shot but who cares, lots of dudes throw up zero in the SL and then settle down in the NBA. He has missed defensive assignments some, but also shown some grit on defense.
He is not a gem waiting to explode from the second round but that's not why he was picked.
