Most players are a lot more flawed than Rondo ....
Really? Most players shoot 34% FT%.? Most player are sagged off and dared to shoot?
I'd say the number of players that are sagged off to the extent Rondo is would surprise you. I'd also say you probably don't consider not being able to rebound/pass/run an offense like Rondo or having his court vision or BBIQ to be real flaws.
From the Dallas Morning News:
Question: How do you see this working out with Rondo? On one hand, I love his passing ability and the way he rebounds for a guard, but it is frustrating watching an opponent just dare him to shoot knowing he can't make open shots consistently.
Eddie Sefko: Yep. Gonna be interesting to see how the system gets tweaked to accommodate Rondo. But remember back earlier in Jason Kidd's career. He couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a banjo for the longest time. He developed a better shot by the time he got to Dallas the second time. But he survived just fine for a lot of years with a suspect shot. It can be done. Just takes some creativity with the offense
Tim, really, the statement was that most players are more flawed than Rondo. Rondo is very flawed and the Mavs fans are starting to understand this better. In Rondo's case, the flaws are perplexing because they are contrasted by such ability in other areas. I am pretty sure you know Rondo has flaws. Your posts indicate that you do watch the games and that you know something about basketball, albeit kind of stat focused; but you do your homework.
I also watch basketball, have played for years, and consider myself "knowledgeable" (although I recognize what I consider myself doesn't matter). There are very few players that get left open to the degree that Rondo does, and exactly zero other point guards. They even cover Pressey tighter than they do Rondo.
