I love this.
I think every team has to gameplan around Rondo if they want to win.
But for this tangential argument, I don't think any of that proves stopping Rondo was a number 1 priority. Especially since they kept trusting Jrue Holiday to stop him when he obviously wasn't.
Isn't he a top three offensive pg in the NBA? Lol
Rondo or Jrue? I'm assuming you mean Rondo.
And...I don't know if he is or isn't. He's not even a top 10 scoring pg, but he'a the best or near the best passing PG in the league.
Chris Paul is a better offensive player, after that, I'm not sure. So much of what Rondo brings is the passing.
If I was asked, 'Pick any PG in the league, they've gotta be your best offensive player' I'm really having a tough time there making a top 3.
Paul
Williams
?
Rondo, Nash, Westbrook, Parker, Curry (if healthy), Irving all have their appeal. The rest of the squad is so critical.
