Rondo can't shoot?

[SCdac]

Everyone's %'s go up with Dirk around. Rondo shooting 47%, 53% on 3s, and averaging 15.4 ppg thus far. It's just 7 games but damn.

He was off to a hot start, and wouldn't surprise me if he gets hot again closer to/in the playoffs, but damn has he cooled down since.

in 25 games w/ the Mavs:

9.0 PPG
40.8 FG%
38.2% on threes (not horrible at all, and no doubt being on a better team helps, but won't be surprising if he regresses to the mean as time goes on.)
28.0 FT% (granted thats 1 attempt pg, but still, I could probably shoot a better %)

For what it's worth though he does other things to help get a W beyond shooting (defense, rebounding, etc). Although he strikes me as an "I'm only gonna pass it if I'm clearly going to get an assist" kinda PG.. at least in Boston he did.

I remember when Rondo took Durant to the wire in All Star HORSE and they just ended up shooting a million three pointers because it ran too long.

I would never judge Rondo on regular season performances, he completely transforms (in a good way) when the playoffs begin or during clutch situations. He suddenly can hit mid and 3 pointers when it matters, and his rebounding and passing is phenomenal.

[salwan]

he used to be a very good midrange shooter, just not anymore.

As a side-note, is Rondo the greatest 6-1 rebounder in NBA history?

Dat 6'11" wingspan with enormous hands, doe.
