    I doubt it is true even though they can use athletisism in the backcourt.

    That has to be a smokescreen. I don't htink he will be a very good pro, because he has zero shot at all.

    Probably a smokescreen. I can't think of a reason why a team should pick Rajon Rondo over a guy like Randy Foye, Marcus Williams, or even Jordan Farmar for the matter. His stock has been all over the place but when it's all said and done I think he'll go where he belongs, 15-25.

    15-25 sounds about right at this point. I have read that his workouts had raised some eye brows, but I don't think its enough to put him ahead of top guys, Williams, Foye, and Farmar.

    If Rondo had a consistent shot, I honestly believe he would be a top five pick. He can drive the lane at will and put the ball in the bucket but his jump shot is horrendus...i've heard he has changed his mechanics(yet again) and this time he's actually hitting some shots, so maybe, just maybe, he'll go in the lottery.

    I like Rondo as a PG a lot despite his shooting woes. I would give him a chance as a GM, but not when I have the chance to draft others with more talent like Foye.
