These "ratings' have caused a bit of a negative stir amongst some posters, but I find them fun and a nice time killer while waiting for TC to start. As always YMMV.

(Garnett's in there too)

26. Rajon Rondo, Boston Celtics (G, 27)
2012-13 stats: 37.4 MPG, 13.7 PPG, 11.1 APG, 5.6 RPG, 1.8 SPG, 48.4 FG%, 24.0 3FG%
2012-13 advanced stats: 18.1 PER, 3.2 Win Shares, +0.6 RAPM
Note: Rondo played only 38 games last season due to a knee injury

Besides the sample-size uncertainty that surrounds the younger players on this list, the trickiest variables to weigh in producing the top 100 were recent injuries and radically changed team circumstances. Rondo, who tore his ACL in February and watched Boston dismantle its aging roster this offseason, joins the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant and the Cavaliers’ Andrew Bynum among the perplexing group of stars dealing with both major health factors and new roster dynamics. Given his endless series of red flags, Bynum (No. 60) is a pretty unassailable first choice as “most difficult player to rank,” but Rondo’s (relative) youth and the many polarizing holes in his game make him a strong contender for second.

When will Rondo be back? Nobody knows. What will he look like, exactly, once he’s surrounded by Kelly Olynyk and Gerald Wallace instead of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce? Nobody knows.

Even with Hall of Famers surrounding him, Rondo wasn’t able to guide the Celtics to an above-average mark in offensive efficiency during the last three seasons. Defensively, Rondo’s instinctive gambling has put him among the league leaders in steals annually, but he no longer has Garnett to serve as an intelligent, long and fearsome safety net. Rondo’s other major shortcomings — his game-to-game inconsistency, lack of shooting range and limited ability to get to, and convert from, the free-throw line — will also be subject to further exposure and critique whenever the Celtics’ offensive attack stalls out. Some have raised questions about how Brad Stevens, a first-time NBA coach, will handle Rondo’s bristly personality.

And yet, Rondo — a four-time All-Star, 2012 All-NBA third-team selection and 2012 All-Defensive second-team pick — cannot be written off, not when he mounted a furious challenge to the Heat’s supremacy just 16 months ago. For those who have already forgotten: Rondo averaged 20.9 points, 11.3 assists, 6.9 rebounds and 1.9 steals in the 2012 Eastern Conference finals, hanging 44 points on Miami in Game 2 and posting a 22/14/10 triple-double in Game 7. Pick your favorite point guard — Chris Paul, Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving — and ask yourself whether he, or any of the others, has had a more impressive playoff series over the last five years than Rondo’s.

The sky-scraping height of that high point, his peerless distribution creativity (now that age finally caught up to Steve Nash) and the 2008 championship ring that glistens from his résumé should be more than enough to give a bit of a grace period to Rondo’s reputation as we wait to see how quickly he gets back to 100 percent health and how the Celtics ultimately decide to handle his role in their uncertain future. — B.G.

Youtube top 10 plays Career (Somme "WOW" stuff here, whether this embeds correctly or not, I give up..always hit or miss for me)

Yup... this puts him behind

#24  Deron Williams
TBA  Derrick Rose
TBA  Westbrook
TBA  Chris Paul
TBA  Steph Curry
TBA  Kyrie Irving
TBA  Tony Parker

... So... still a top 10 PG.  Fringe all-star heading forward.  Should be fun to see him play without the legends.  My guess is he'll have an average season.  He might struggle to make the allstar team from here on out.  Lots of talented guards in this league and Rondo is prob past his prime.

People especially Rondo fanatics won't like hearing this, but he hasn't proven alot without having at least two out of big three around him.

Playoff Rondo, can be that bc opposing players constantly had to stress on guarding KG, PP, Allen.

Last year it was Rondo's time to shine with KG and PP taking a backseat, but it didn't go smooth.
