Rondo Article

Nice article by Scott Souza on Rajon Rondo.   Here's a snipet.

If the Celtics were to have a fatal flaw this season, the consensus - especially among national media, but among plenty in the local press as well - was that Rondo was going to be it.

No pressure, kid. Just don't screw this whole thing up.

Seven months later, the point guard many predicted would be in way over his head has not only accepted the monumental challenge, but has tackled it with a command that few predicted. He's grabbed the reins of what could have been a mustang stampede of mega-personalities and steered the herd to the greatest single-season turnaround in franchise history. He has mostly held his own - especially in the second half of the season - in his individual matchups against the best point guards in the game.

ronda was a big part of this season…a great pick up by danny.

rondo is the most likable of all the c’s. his effort, his calm demeanor, his lack of phoney bravado,his steadiness,the work he put into improving his shot, the fact that he’s a small guy in a big guy game and all the bumps,bruises, and knockdowns he absorbs. i would like to see him get more than 5 assists per game, however, and even tho much improved, he can do better defensively covering pick and rolls.

I see a little of Nate Archibald in him……
