Being wide up 90% of the time.

Hes just getting the paul pierce treatment except Pierce was playing with toine, ricky davis, jiri welsch and orien greene (d league all star)

The Rondo treatment?  Being cursed with "big hands" not allowing you to hit a ft or a 3? Being slowed down constantly by 35 year olds?  Being blessed to play with 3 HOFers in your formative years?

I'm assuming the Rondo treatment means leaving Rondo open on the perimeter. I got rid of all of the bigs and I'm limiting it to guys I think would struggle. Instead of putting pts. I'm putting why I think they'd struggle. Rose was the only guy I thought about keeping but I think he'd find a way to develop a consistent mid range jump shot.

Lebron James: He struggles under pressure.

Russell Westbrook: Not a great shooter. Would lose confidence.

Monta Ellis: Completely erratic shooter. Would vary from night to night but I think he would eventually slump.

Steve Nash: I think he would be fine, but I think it would throw the rest of the team out of whack. They feed off of Nash's playmaking.

Tony Parker: I put him in that Rose category of almost leaving him off. I think he would be able to close out games but barely.

Almost everyone would do better than Rondo because Rondo's not a great shooter and is not confident in his shooting. The majority of other top players are not lacking in confidence.

  Not sure the point of the thread. Did you just notice that Rondo's not a great outside shooter?

  You could flip it around though. Take any point guard on the list and give them "the Rondo treatment" so they aren't guarded closely on the perimeter. Also, give them Rondo's outside shot and free throw shooting. How many of them are still all-star caliber players? How many of them can still have an impact on their offense similar to what they have now?

  Paul, Nash and Curry are almost exclusively jump shooters. Rose, Westbrook and Parker would have a harder time getting to the rim if their defenders backed off a little. Every player in that list would have a much harder time getting assists as they'd basically be passing against what they do now plus 1 "roaming defender". Could any of them still run an offense effectively?

lol what a weird thread.  Who knows?

If defenses played Ray the way they play Rondo, I have to imagine he'd average around 40 PPG

ah the BIG HANDS curse. Michael Jordan had gigantic hands. Plenty of men in the NBA have "Rondo syndrome" and shoot the ball well. I'm not buying BIG HANDS excuse

[celtic -_- pride]

yea rondo has never had a jumper period, with that said he has vastly improved in his jumper this year in my opinion. I predict by next year he will have a consistent mid rang jumper that will demand guarding. lets see what happens ya seeeeeee

[mqtcelticsfan]

Rondo has strengths and weaknesses, much like every player ever. Thanks for highlighting his obvious weakness for us. I will now dedicate my time to preaching the gospel of Rondo being bad at outside shooting.

Steve Nash is one of the greatest shooters of all time, he would be more than "just fine" lol..

[Celtics4ever]

Yeah, the big hands things is a joke only guys with little hands believe that nonsense.

TP - Thank you. This thread seems a little snarky to me. If you don't like Rondo, stand in line and stop creating new threads about how horrible he is. We are lucky to have such a unique player and if we trade him, it better be for somebody better than Gortat and Varejao.

  At least it's fairly interesting IMO. What would happen if CP3 or Nash could take as many wide open shots as they wanted is pretty obvious. How they would fare without good jump shot or ft% is another matter. Would Nash even be in the league?
