Rondo's huge 9 inch hands really help his handling.

Then why aren't bigs the best dribblers.   I have hands that big or bigger and I was not a good dribbler.  My team mates felt safer with me shooting past halfcourt than dribbling.

Big guys are not only farther from the floor--making their dribbles longer, slower, more vulnerable to defense, and further offline for the same angle--but they are also more likely to play BB because they're tall than because they're good.

Rondo's huge 9 inch hands really help his handling. But it's between either Rondo or Kyrie for me. Rondo can just handle at ridiculous speeds, while Kyrie often makes his defenders look foolish.

  Rondo's big hands help but the speed in which he processes and reacts is a big plus.
