Arkansas guard known for shooting touch and perimeter spacing
Rakestraw was a high-school standout and Arkansas signee whose calling card was his shooting, with 247Sports describing him and his brother as “amazing shooters,” which is the kind of skill set that can translate quickly to lineup value even when the box score is quiet.[4] ESPN lists him as a guard for Arkansas and records limited college production, so the appeal is less about gaudy numbers and more about fit: a floor-spacer who can stretch defenses, keep possessions moving, and add reliable perimeter gravity if his shot carries over.[2][3] He’s best viewed as a specialist and system fit rather than a volume creator.[4][7]
