We need Rajon Rondo!!!

They won't start guarding him tightly as long as he has the ability to blow by folks and get to the lane. That's why he is left open in the first place. He is not a horrible shooter. No need to continue to argue with the actual data.

Sure, his shooting in his first few games after ACL surgery aren't that great. Ok....

 

Ah, so he's a great shooter that just happens to shoot like Dwight Howard from the FT line then? Or are you arguing that he just doesn't have FT range?

You're the one arguing against the actual data here.

 

So now people have to respect his jumper, which either makes it easy for him to drive to the hoop, or open more room for DH to operate down low. Right?

You can't have it both ways, can you?

Like they always say, pick your poison! :grin:

 

That means he worked on his shot during the off season thus shooting 50% from mid range. You stated that season was s fluke, lol how do you know that. Do you have anything to back up that claim?

Have you heard of rust, dude hasn't played since when. Lol

 

Well I provided a link suggesting last year was a fluke which you dismissed as "rust".

I wouldn't want the Rockets to trade for him no matter what, but especially not until he was able to at least duplicate that one year's numbers showing he could be at least as good as Asik from those zones.

 

So since 2012 the last time Rondo was healthy enough to qualify for SG% leader board, Rondo's 2012 season rates as the 348 out of 361 best total scoring percentage for season that qualify. Thanks should go to Even Turner for putting up two worse season than Rondo during that time frame.

 

Dragic > Rondo

 

Dragic and Lowry are all better options. But Rondo is more realistic.

 

Championship PG.

 

So are Mario Chalmers and Derek Fisher.

Dragic is having a better season than Rondo has ever had.

 

Gil, we aren't getting Dragic. We would have to throw something major in there for Phoenix to trade him.

 

Just like Derek Fisher, Jason Williams, Avery Johnson, Ron Harper, and Mario Chalmers

The funny thing about posting a video of one game is that anyone can do it.

Okay, maybe not.

Whatever, here's the link.

I never said he was a great shooter. I said the data proves that he is not a pathetic shooter.
