never heard about this guy

And we've never heard of you..... So if you don't even know about the damn guy why do you even bother posting something as stupid as that?

Another Daniels in the rough?...

I thought for sure Rawle would have been taken late in the 2nd round of the draft, and was very surprised he didn't.

Hes a steal.

Wow!! That's awesome- I think he's the first player from Oakland University to make it into the NBA. OU is where I go to school- there's only 17,000 people who go there and just recently has it moved up into D1.. I'm pumped that I've actually met someone who's making it into the NBA (well, other than a few of the Pistons at autograph signings and whatnot)

[kinokong]

ok... then can i ask for video clips of this guy and ask how good he is???

So i assume he played div 2 ball last season... will be interesting to see how this guy goes. I mean, there have been players who havent played div 1 college basketball in the past who have made it into the NBA!

Well, clips can't really tell you how good a player is, and although I'm not a big college basketball fan, I do know that he is a pretty athetic foward with a good first step, and he has long and lanky arms which could help him become a better defender. I'd say he's got to hit the weight room though, he's not even 200 pounds I think.

Rawle is 6'7" tall and 190 lbs.

Oakland just turned D1 a few years ago- if you recall, the school's "claim to fame" was earning a NCAA tourny berth last year, and losing by 35 points to UNC in the first round

I saw him play at the 1st NCAA tourney game where Oakland got the right to get spanked by UNC, My Aunt went to school there.
