How is Ivan Rabb doing? 

Post#1 » by cdubbz » Tue Feb 6, 2018 1:30 am

Bay area guy here and Cal fan.

Rabb was ranked very high coming out of HAS and entering his freshman year. He decided to stay for his sophomore year (mistake in terms of draft position). But what's your analysis of him? From college I saw him more of a help defender and defensive guy rather than offensive big. Do you guys like his upside or are still unsure of his NBA skills?

Best prospect we've had in years. Love his ability and touch. He's looked really good in the limited run he's gotten and it's gonna be really fun to watch him develop over the rest of this season.

I really like Brooks as well, probably more than Rabb, but we actually look like we may have made positive selections this time. It's been years since we've really done that. (Davis has shown flashes but is still very raw)

Rabb has looked good in his limited minutes for the most part. He should have a future in the NBA.

Side note: Wish we could help Chalmers make it to a playoff team and then bring Kobi Simmons up the rest of the season. Would love to have Brooks, Simmons, Rabb, and Henry get plenty of minutes the rest of the season.

Ahead of Schedule, he is a very fast learner which is helping his development.

He played well in garbage minutes against Atlanta (so super garbage time?). 21min, 5-8 shooting, 11 Reb, 2 ast, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 PF, and 2 TO
