This is 100% true. Rotnei is a great shooter. He is not a playmaker and not a guy you can build your offense around. He needs screens set for him at this level, and a playmaking point guard who can penetrate and kick. What Cade was able to do to him this past season speaks volumes, especially since he was not able to do the same against bigger, more athletic wings (and this is not putting down Cade).
Averaging 15 pts on a bad team is not a big deal. What did TMG average for us? And for all his shortcomings, TMG could actually beat his defender, something RC cannot do.
I am all for a guy like RC, and even RC himself if he understands his role, at OU. Would love to have him. But anyone who thinks that being the leading scorer in state history in a small class hs has anything to do with high-major D1 success needs to look a little deeper.
And nobody has mentioned anything yet about the fact that your defense is going to take a huge hit with a player like RC on the floor. Not that it would have made things any worse this past season. But I guess that's a song and dance for another day.
