Re: Al Rapier Hypothetical

He certainly has talent . He really needs to improve on the free throw line.  Playing inside alot he gets fouled but misses  those charity buckets.

Looks like Rapier put in the necessary work, as he has certainly improved from last year.  One thing to keep in mind with Juco's is that it usually takes awhile (in most cases) for them to get comfortable with the difference in D1 hoops.  Usually, the transition is easier for bigs than it is for wings/guards, and you are seeing this right now with Bracey as he struggles to make the transition.  Defensively the game is very different the further away from the basket you play, and that's where I think Bracey is having some issues (as well as learning where and how to get his shots).  Rapier's improvement should give you hope that Bracey will come around in time...actually, I like (at times, especially against bigger opponents) using Rapier for a few minutes at the 4 position, as he's your best frontcourt scorer.
