so we're taking rondo over steve nash, deron williams, chris paul, derrick rose, jason kidd, chauncey billups, russell westbrook, tony parker, or brandon jennings?
sorry, i'll disagree here...
Over Kidd, Billups, Westbrook and jennings yes.
Kidd in no way brings the hustle,speed,intensity,defense and fast break ability Rondo does. kidd's shot is not THAT much better.
Billups doesn't bring the speed, fast break capability, finishing skills,passing skills or rebounding that Rondo does. Billups is a much better shooter and can post up small guards.
Westbrook can't play defense like Rondo and doesn't pass as well (Although he can dish out some assists for sure) as Rondo. He also doesn't rebound like Rondo does.
Jennings is not even an arguement at this point.
Rose has an arguement because if his team isn't scoring he can take over but rebounding from a pg spot is huge and right now I see none better than Rondo. Add on his defensive capabiltiy and it's close. rose is a much better scorer, can finish more effectively around the hoop, while being a very good passer so they kind of off set each other a bit. (I'm a Bulls fan)
I would
PROBABLY take a healthy Parker over him but only because Parker can carry the load and is still a very capable passer. But defensively and rebounding wise Rondo is very much superior. He's a better passer by a smaller margin than TP as well.
Nash doesn't compare to rondo on defense but the things Nash can do and create on the offensive end more than make up for it.
CP3 is a superior player as well as D.Williams.
