Rajon RondoLast year's stats: 11.9 ppg, 8.2 apg, 5.2 rpg, 1.9 spg, fg% 50.5, ft% 64.2%Projected Stats: John: 13 ppg, 10.7 apg, 5.0 rpg, 2.5 spg, fg% 52.5, ft% 70.1 Chuck: 15 ppg, 9.2 apg, 4.7 rpg, 2.1 spg, fg% 49, ft% 70%What will help him the most?John:
The addition of Rasheed Wallace. Sheed can draw a big defender away
from the paint and give Rondo more pace. When he gets into the middle
of the lane, he'll either have an easy shot or multiple passing options
as the defense collapses. So I see his scoring average going up a
little to account for an extra easy lay up or two... but I see his
assist average really going up as he finds guys in good spots. Chuck: A couple of things. First, he's got a huge chip on his
shoulder. Remember the trade rumors and comments from Danny Ainge
saying Rondo hurt the team in the Orlando series? He's also playing for
a contract extension. Another year of experience also helps....
