You still maintain that I'm being silly?  
Do you think his HS ranking is relevant to the discussion?  Very relevant?  You've brought it up at least twice.
Is his NBA draft position (undrafted, iirc) relevant?  You haven't mentioned that.

This is like saying, Tacko Fall is mainly plays inside, because that's the role the coach wants for him.

Rashad was a great 3 point shooter, and our best ever clutch shooter.  Hands down.
But the guy had mittens on, didn't create for anybody else, and was slow on D.
I remember one Calhoun story where he said he had a player come off the court and ask to be switched off a guy, saying, "he's too fast for me coach."  JC said he never had a guy say that to him.  I think that was RA.
I also remember Calhoun saying once, about a guy, "he didn't get one rebound.  How can you play a full game and not get one rebound."  Might have been RIP, but it could have been RA.

Point is, RA was what he was.  Calhoun certainly didn't tell him, "go out there and don't assist or rebound, your "role here is primarily as a 3 point shooter.""

His last year he averaged 2.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game.

If we are all to believe your scorching take, we'd have to believe that JC was willing to take any chance RA had of making the league and flush it down the toilet.

You are a trench digger.
