Rondo For Most Improved?

Empty The Bench names Rondo one of the 7 most improved:

The I-Just-Drank-a-Two-Liter-of-Jolt-fast Rondo has upped his production in every major statistical category except free-throwing shooting, which isn’t much of a detriment to his game anyway since he’s attempting less than 3/per. He’s had solid games and he’s had big games, but his ballsy performance on March 5 against renewed-rival Detroit Pistons is the one that likely stands out amongst the Celtics faithful. He nagged and refused to back down from the bigger, stronger Chauncey Billups, hit some big shots, and brought the house down on a thunderous, where’d-that-come-from dunk that saw him blow by a lead-footed Rip Hamilton and throw it down with authority over Jason Maxiell, who’s usually the giver, not the receiver, of posterizations. You get the feeling that this kid hasn’t even come close to reaching his full potential.

Would love to see it, but the award should/will go to Hedo.

Rondo’s played great, but he still has a long way to go. Still, he’s improved over last year in almost every way so why not? Hedo? Can you really say a 28 yr old most improved? He also went from a career backup to a starter in Orlando, so he’s getting more minutes than ever.

My vote for most improved would be Caron Butler, with Beno Udrih second. Paul Pierce would also be in my top 7, based on his improved defense alone.

surely the winner will be Bynum. Maybe a little chance for Hedo. I don’t think that Rondo could win the award.

Maybe from a league wide standpoint, but all us Celtics fan knew he was capable of this all along.
