Just wondering what everyone thinks about this. I'm a Celtic fan and watched every Celtics game last year, and he is a great defender.
PG is also the weakest defensive position in the NBA so I think Rondo really is the best defender. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Deron Williams, but I think Rondo is an overall better defender than Williams, but it's close. Anyone else think Rondo is the best defensive PG in the league, and if you don't, which PG(s) do you feel are better defensivley? |

i think he will be...but is not yet...he has all the tools.
guys like jkidd / billups - while not as physically able anymore have a ton of experience on Rondo...experience guarding the point is very important...but rondo will definitely get there...if not this year, then probably next. never underestimate the brilliant tutelage of doc rivers hah |

according to this analysis, yes, he is. Interesting enough, it rates Deron near the very bottom. The stat definitely isn't perfect.
It's probably either him or Devin Harris. Jason Kidd is still a very good defender. There are some others. fwiw I think he makes some dumb gambles and he's attrocious at guarding against the screen (more a symptom of Doc's utter failure in this department). I'd take Devin over him. |

Yes, let's make definitive statements based off one year.

I would have to rank Rondo over both of them at this point in their career's, as quicker guards give Kidd/Billups a good amount of trouble. |
