Sorry these are so late today but I had 2 doctors appointments to go to and didn’t have time to get them done before. Some good ones here today, though.

Rondo a "garbage point guard"?

This from the Indy Cornrows site:

During the game, a scout near me responded to a carry call on Rajon Rondo with a “thank you” response. I noticed Rondo moving the ball around a lot during the Tuesday game, so I mentioned that he gets away with that quite a bit. The scout admitted he wasn’t a fan of Rondo’s game and that if he was on another team with average talent Rondo would be considered a garbage point guard. That surprised me because Rondo seems to be a good fit, but the scout’s point was that, as we witnessed first hand, finding KG running the floor or Ray Allen and Paul Pierce for kick outs would make any PG look good.

What annoys me about what the scout said is that why does everything that Rondo does has to be only because he is on a good team. I wouldn’t say that Tony Parker esp. in his 1st few years was not talented because he had Tim Duncan, etc. on the team. Does having all the talent around him make it easier? of course. Not to compare him to the big 3 but it is also easier on them the way Rondo has been playing. A bad PG would not be able to lead the team and have the respect that Rondo has with the big 3.
