And the best on-ball defender award goes too?

by andrewherez2597 on Jan 24, 2012 10:23 PM EST

So I know we've all watched Avery Bradley these past few games, and we've seen his defense, especially his on ball defense, on full display. That being said, who is our best on-ball defender? Rondo or Bradley?

I personally still think Rondo is the better on-ball defender when he turns it up. When he wants to, not only can he stay in front of his man, put possibly get the steal as well. I think Rondo and Avery are #1 and #2 in the league, with Rondo being a hair better.

Your Thoughts?

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

Unless Ronod is willing he does not deserve the honor

I mean, he does not do it.

I think #1 and 2 in the league is a bit much

But they could be a hugely disruptive tandem, for sure

It was one game, guys.

The actual answer to your question is almost certainly Rondo, and the best on-ball defender in the NBA is probably Ronnie Brewer.

Avery Bradley hasn’t played enough basketball in the NBA to be compared to Rondo or almost anyone else.

As much as I like Bradley, I concur.

Before we start handing league-wide titles for the kid, let’s let him earn it first.

start

I hope Bradley and the Steam roller and grow with the C’s. They both have shown us some impressive skills defensively. Thursday will be a huge test to see if we are headed in the right direction. Actually the next two games. We need to beat Indiana.

Rondo is more of a gambler ...

Sometimes he gambles and he leaves everything up to Jermaine or KG for the back up defense and other times he is at the other end capitalizing on a easy fastbreak
