We should add Raynaud's name to the thread title.  Starting Dec. 8th vs. IND, Raynaud has essentially replaced Drew Eubanks in the Kings starting lineup.  Over his last three games (two of which went to overtime), he's averaged 35 min a game and 15 FG attempts.  Double-doubles in all of his last three games (avg 19pts/12reb), all three with FG% above 50%.  Things are looking up for him.

Done.  IIRC, when I first posted Maxime was third string in Sac and barely playing.

Color me unsurprised that Maxime is doing well.  By his senior year, his offensive game was excellent, and he has the size and hops to compete in the NBA.  

But he's going to need to be a better defender than he was at Stanford if he's going to be a legit starter in the NBA. I always thought he was a little soft against physical centers.  That's something I'm sure his coaches are working on with him.
