Rajon Rondo is a Stud
I have a proclamation to make. Rajon Rondo is the truth. There are a lot of Rondo haters out there and you all are entitled to your opinion, but I just want to bring a few things to your attention that may give you a change of heart. Rondo was by far one of the top point men in the league last year. Though his regular season numbers of 12ppg, 8apg, 5rpg, and 2spg while shooting 51% from the floor were solid, but far from astounding, he really turned it on in the playoffs. He simply outplayed every point guard in the postseason. At 6'1 he managed to average a triple double throughout the playoffs. He was able to uphold 17ppg, 10apg, 10rpg, and 2.5spg over two grueling seven game series. Despite Ray Allen and Paul Pierce being the epitome of inconsistency, Rondo was almost able to propel the Celtics to a second consecutive Eastern Conference Finals appearance. Despite the fact that he heard his name constantly brought up in trade talks all summer, I believe that Rondo will have the best season of his career thus far and be awarded with an All-Star selection. As the big 3 gets older, Rondo's role in the offense will continue to expand. As he continues to develop his jumpshot he will become even more of a nightmare for opposing defenses. A consistent jumper is the only thing missing in his game. He is lightning quick, makes good decisions, has a good build, plays D, jumps out of the gym, etc. Anything that you could think of, this guy probably does it. His most overlooked yet most impressive stat is the fact that he had a 3.15 assist-to-turnover ratio. That is pretty good for a guy that does 90% of the ball handling on his team. Like I said earlier, all of you Rondo haters are entitled to your opinions, but you you might want to look at the numbers before the next time you open your mouth.
