I just can’t understand how people are saying Jak is the answer. Have him come off the bench or in matchup situations or fucking trade him.
Trade him? Sure, depending on the return, but which other current Raptor would you try in his place as a starter? Gary hasn’t gotten it done yet, but his minutes may well go up if he breaks out of his slump. Precious certainly hasn’t been a viable alternative. Boucher? I love him in spots, but he can’t be expected to be a first-team guy. So far, Yak has been the answer because we haven’t had a better one.
