Frankly, I think his jump shot is too developmental delayed for Rondo to ever be more than average at it.  That is, it all one had to do was practice, then almost anyone could become a great shooter.  But that simply is not the case.  For instance, I could dribble a ball everywhere for the next ten years yet, I don't think I have the hand eye coordination to get to the level of Rondo (for instance).  In other words, like every other skill, shooting is also based on inherent ability.  And for some reason, Rondo either did not develop it in time or he just never had it.

Shooting, in my opinion, will always be Rondo's achillis heel and the thing that will prevent him from ever being great.  But that's okay since I think he will be very good for a long time.

Over under 3.5 all star games for Rajon? In your opinion.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Hard to say.  But if I had to bet my house, I would say under.  But that's not a knock necesarily.  Only the truly great PG's make it to four, five and six all-star games.  As I already stated, I doubt Rondo will get there.  Also, some of the most talented PG's of recent vintage didn't make many all start appearances (and for various reasons).  Examples include Marbury, B. Davis, Kenny Anderson,etc.  Of course, it will also depend on winning.  As long as the team wins, Rondo will get recognition.  If it doesn't, then he will not.

Under, but not because I think jump shots can be developmentally delayed. He can improve significantly - with effort.

And that's where my doubts lie right now with him.
