Point Guard

Brandon Jennings vs. Rajon Rondo

Rondo is one of those point guards who doesn’t shoot very well, only it doesn’t matter because he’s so freaking good.  He’s nearly as quick as anyone in the league and has terrific size and athleticism for a point guard.  He takes over half of his shots at the time and hits 69 percent of them.  That’s a recipe for disaster for the Bucks defense … unless they can foul him before he finishes.  When I say Rondo can’t shoot, it really is clear when you take a look at his free throw percentage.  A career 62 percent shooter, Rondo is down to 40.6 this year.  For a point guard!  Some how he’s only shooting a touch over one per game despite taking it to the rack being his preferred offense.  After passing to Allen and KG that is.  It will be a tough night for Brandon Jennings, as Rondo is also the league leader in steals per game at 2.5.
