Just curious

How often does Rodney post up? I haven't seen all the games and only on the tube but I don't recall seeing that.

I would think he could be effective getting the ball at the low post with his jumping ability. Or doesn't he jump well with ball in hand?

He tried posting up last night because Akron had the 5'9" puerto rican kid guarding him by himself for a few possessions. One time he was crying for them to swing it and get him the rock.. didn't happen. A possession or two later, the same situation presented itself and he was fed.

I like Rodney with a little space vs. being posted up, and then using that little bit of space to take it to the bucket while the defender gazes on...

Rodney needs to do whatever he can do to get the ball in the lane. He's got the ability to rise over any defender and from that position he should be close enough to the rim to actually have a chance at making a shot.
