What's new

Is Rondo a shell of his former self?

Hopefully he goes to the Lakers and Kanter to the Thunder (or Lakers).

Going to be a great off season I think.
 

I think this. He truly was a talent to behold a few years back. He played with a chip on his shoulder, and it made him personally better, and probably better team player.

But now the roles are reversed... Chip is a horrible basketball player, and he's playing with Rondo on his shoulder.
 
Yes, he is less than he was. But is it possible too that the memory of Rhondo is also greater than what he actually was?

Boston hype is almost as bad as Kentucky hype. For instance, brad Stevens is currently on the messiah list just behind Jesus and tom Brady but ahead of Curt schilling and the beetles because he lead the celtics to a less than amazing 40-42 record in the miserable east.

Let's look.

From 2008-2015 in Boston, Rondo averaged 10.3 assists with 3.3 TO's on a per game basis. That doesn't grow on trees.

He's never been a great 3pt shooter(but his % has increased in Dallas). Nor FT shooter, although he did get to the line a fair amount.

I think his numbers show it's fair to say he was a great facilitator, but not always a great scorer.
