True Hoop has an interesting piece on the adjusted plus minus stat. Rondo came in as 16th best in the league. There is some speculation that this could be a bit of a fluke because he only averaged 23 minutes a game. I think it’s because really good D and disruptive D from the point have been hard to measure historically. So generally it is underrated and players such as Rondo who excel in this area are underrated. But even with his offensive imperfections, Rondo was that much of a difference-maker over our other point players.

Real Gm’s comments on Perk just shows they don’t know Perk’s role. Before they make a ridiculous statement they should talk to the Eddie Curry’s and Jermaine O’Neil’s. I would even include Shaq. Perk has played physical and well against all of them. He plays them like Cowens used to, doesn’t let them get to their favorite spots.
