Rondo is probaly a lottery pick. He is pretty close to a lock for the 1st when he comes out.

He cant shoot though. Not at all. I'm a huge UK fan and love the kid but in the NBA you have to be able to knock down an open shot. Thats the argument against him being a 1st rounder.

He's in the 8-15 range for me. Very solid defender, good mid range jumper, good passer, just not so g reat from long distance.

yes

His shooting isnt great but it has improved every year, that is something thats just as important. His shooting will continue to come around, sort of reminds me of Tony Parker.

"WHAS in louisville just said he made a statement to the reporters that he is most likely coming back and will wait until after his junior year"

Yeah he's probably a lottery pick. He has an odd looking shooting form. Kinda pushes the ball from his shoulder. He couldn't shoot a lick last year, and, as said, he's improved alot in that aspect. Teams actually have to respect his shot a little. Dude has some big hands too. He just needs to keep working on his shot, and his understanding of the game.

His hands are as big as our 7'3 center

Yes, most definetly yes.

I think he's borderline lottery right now, got everything you look for and a little added extra with his rebounding ability...like you all have said tho, needs to work on his jumper

Yeah for sure, he's lightning quick and a great defender will his abnormally long arms. I do think however that Marcus Williams has jumped ahead of him in the point guard rankings. I remember watching Rondo in highschool when him and Josh Smith would tear teams up at Oak Hill.

That's when I fell in love with Marcus. He was on when LeBron was in HS and he played a hell of a game.

he'll probaby end up being a top 10 pick

He's probably a lottery pick and I've heard as high as top 10, so yes.

yes of course he is i will be suprised if he aint top 15. If he isnt top 20 i hope the knicks get him.

Because the Knicks need another guard. Knicks need a swingman so bad it's not funny. Shawne Williams to the knicks.

Rondo has great hands and gets many steals, he comes up big in the clutch, and he is a good passer. Rondo certainly has the talent to be picked somewhere in the first round.

I like Rondo's pass first mentality but he plays out of control sometimes.

His defense is an attribute that many NBA teams covet from their PGs. (Because some, like: Steve Francis, Stephon Marbury, and all the other Knick guards can't.)

Lottery pick.
