Opinion on Rondo

Rondo is a rather interesting PG and I would llike to hear people's opinion on him as a Basketball player (I.E don't care what you think about his personality).

Against the Hawks (game 3) he just got yet another playoff triple double after missing a game due to suspension. During the regular season he racked up 6 triple doubles (including the insane one vs. Knicks) which is 5 more than any other player in the NBA. He is one of the best defensive PGs and he seems to have improved his mid range game also.

On the otherhand, he is still not a huge threat offensively and from time to time misses open layups. To add to that he is still a bad free throw shooter. NBA advance statistics ranks him 21st among PGs, behind the likes of Goran Dragic, Jeremy Lin, Nate Robinson, Isaiah Thomas, etc.

Personally, I think Rondo is a great PG, and the most versitle in the league. There is, however, a chance that he is a product of a system0

When he learns how to shoot and not blow layups there will be no stopping him.

He's a garbage person and a trash ass player.GotFiveRings

Kid can play. He makes his team better. Top 5 imo.

If he could shoot hooooly sh*t he would be a monster.

he is a great point gaurd one of the best today but he is not a #1 option type of player....

and thats what boston made him last year and this year....and thats why the boston celtics keep getting their butt kicked.pierce needs to be the leader and #1 option...not rondo.

rondo needs to learn he cant shoot for sh!t and just be happy to get 10 points....what he needs are assists, rebounds and steals not points.... him trying to go for 20 or 30 points is a joke and hurts the team.

Needs to go to the Magic

Rondo is PG/C, isn't it?

he has the most assists of the C, and he has the most rebounds of the PG.

I think he's more than just a product of the system. Like deuce4eva said, if he can get a more consistent jump shot and be a bit better overall offensively, he'll be in the mix for top PG in the league. As of right now though, I have him at 4 or 5 since he's not as complete as other PGs.

He is the best quarterback in the league. Is very confident and cocky just like every other basketball player out there. I love watching him play and I'm glad he is a Celtic. He might not be the best, but he is a premiere Point Guard in the NBA hands down. I would put him in the top 5 right now.

He is a decent player who gets over hyped because he is playing in Boston.

they were even going to trade rondo when they were losing like crazy mid season.

Obviously he's not an ideal shooter, but Rondo's jumper has definitely improved this year. Ever since Reggie Miller called him while broadcasting a game, he seems to be making his jumpshots with semi regularity. Especially his midrange J from a few feet to the right or left of the free throw line.bobcheeseball

Im glad somebody took notice how great of a J he has. He was a beast in the reg season.

I don't consider Rondo a star because I don't believe he can go to a terrible team and make them substanially better.

His offensive game is just such a crutch that you really need to fill in guys around him who can make plays, and of course Rondo will find them. Other than that, I view Rondo as a guy who really fits in well with that Boston Celtics team.
