Ricky Rubio is Rondo on Steroids

[jiriwelsch]

Rondo vs Rubio?  u kidding me? Rubio is exciting and promising but Rondo is proven.  What's interesting is:  I doubt either team would trade for either player if their salaries were the same.  So in that regard,  perhaps they are equals in terms of franchise value.  However, on skill level alone,  there's no comparison at all.

The irony of this thread title is if I had to guess which player was on roids I'd go with Rondo 10 out of 10

[BballTim]

he's definitely a better passer and shooter than Rondo

but Rondo is better defensively, i will also take Rondo 10 out of 10 over Rubio

Except when taking a shot of any kind

  Rondo seems to hit more of his shots at the rim and more of his mid-range jumpers. So, aside from those, probably true.

I guess technically a layup is a shot.

  Not only a shot,the most efficient shot you can get. It's why Rondo has significantly higher TS% and eFG% than Rubio.

Hey. Turns out Rubio averages well over a half a steal more a game than Rondo. Gets more blocks too, but they both don't get many.

  Rondo's the better defender.

Amazing court vision he has.
