Rondo's defense is quite overrated. He gambles without recovering a lot. The correct answer to best PG defender is usually thought to be either Chris Paul or Mike Conley
I sorry. I'm not going to agree with you failing to include Rondo in that list. And the coaches don't, either. If you won't accept that, then argue with the coaches who vote Rondo #1 or #2 every year why you don't have him in your top 2. You Spurs fans are so weird when it comes to debating basketball.
Only if they throw in a first round pick to sweeten the deal... Seriously, they might not even consider Harden + fillers. He is one of the most untouchable up and coming players in the league now. Amazing is the word to describe this kid.
