The comparison is valid simply because both were high 1st round picks that we fans hope turn into great players.

Lavar is a maverick & really enjoys being different. Rak seems just as smart if not much smarter, but he presents himself in a more humble manner. I know introductory press conferences are always full of cliches about winning, team,etc. & they say the right things, but Rak really sounds mature & grounded.

I was so pysched when we drafted Lavar. I have my concerns about Rak, so I wasn't as happy w/the pick. Now that's it's done, I'm already starting to like him more.
