Wall could realistically average 20 & 10. He was 19 & 9 last year.

Rondos not capable of that.

However...Prime rondo should not be slept on at All. Hated dude, but he's a crafty son of a gun.

Wall shot 35% from 3 last year. Not sold on it, but he's def improving. If he keeps his 3s in that range, eliminates those contested elbow jumpers...throws in some floaters and finishes better, he'll be a top 5 or 10 player pretty soon.

He also has a pretty basic set of crossovers. With his quickness and handle, he should be getting to the rim more. But Wall could serve to be a more creative ball handler to break down the defense easier.

No Rondo hate here

I would just personally rather have Wall on my team because of a scoring edge that's all

What about the rebounding, passing ability and leadership edge?

Landry Fields Guy got it made

You can only amnesty (cut) one player. Lakers did that with Ron. You can claim as many players as you want off the amnesty wire (bums who've been cut).

In summary, the lakers will be trash this year. They'll miss Nick Young for a month, other than that they're healthy. Plus injuries aren't an excuse. You don't sign players who are on the last leg of their career and expect them to play 82 games as a starter(Nash) or a guy coming off major back surgery (if you want to throw it back to Dwight).

There's no injury curse. The only curse the Lakers have is that they have an idiot owner since Dr. buss passed.

I was referring to Carlos Boozer

Let them sleep & rondo could easily put up 19ppg if he really had to, wall has to in order for the wiz to be successful,

we'll see this year with double r

i expect 15 & 10 with a top 5 pick

 

[dacomeup]

LOL. As if the Celtics are having success with how Rondo's numbers currently are?

Very difficult to build a team around a PG who can't shoot at a respectable rate.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

 
Dude this really is the golden era of PGs

Curry,

CP3

Wall,

RW

Rose

Rondo

Lillard

Collison

Bledsoe

Rubio

Brandon Jennings

MCW

Holiday

Jimmer

D Will(please bro, stay healthy)

Lowry

Kyrie

Mike C

Tony Parker

Kemba

Ty Lawson

Trolling with Jimmer, Jennings, Rubio etc. mentions

But yes, we are in a great era for point guards. How many times does that need to be mentioned

Wall is a great player, might be elite status in the next few years but yeah, he's not getting MVP this season. If someone wants to put some sort of large wager on it let's do it. I'd even tell you he won't get top 3, probably 5

I can respect that, just seemed like people are putting Wall on a level that Rondo has never seen before and I don't think that's true.

Landry Fields Guy got it made

loved him his rookie year in NY

dude is pathetic now

Like i said he didnt have to when he had the big 3, this season determines if he was just a product of that or can he really hold his own

 

[ny mavurs]

What about the rebounding, passing ability and leadership edge?

 

I'm betting Wall can certainly make a huge jump in all of those categories this season. If not then you and Rondo win

 

[ballinsam23]

I dont think i'd ever choose Wall over Rondo.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I dont think i'd ever choose Wall over Rondo.

Rondo now? Who knows, Rondo pre-injury, hell no I wouldn't take this year's Wall over pre-injury Rondo

Didn't realize Quin Snyder became the Jazz's head coach

 

[kidkain]

If we're talking PGs...

I got steph curry as the MVP this year

 

[awwsome]

I really hope the Spurs get the repeat, just once. Defend the title just once guys.

#6 for Timmy straight into retirement is all I ask of this upcoming season.

Would be amazing.

Not too many pgs I would of taken over rondo pre-injury. With that said....


How many all star point guards have a championship ring in the league right now?

The bar at 5:56 is my bar, the Garret.

Met Danilo when he came in, real chill dude.

Lost mad respect for Rondo when he had the double digit assist streak going. Dude was literally turning down open fast break layups to keep that dumb streak going. It was shameful.

You shouldnt always have respect for rondo just off the strength of the 2011 playoffs

He routinely gives up his own looks to pass though. That's just how he is

Shameful is a bit excessive but it's just an opinion. Don't think it's worth losing respect for him, he's the type that honestly cares about winning and doesn't just play for a paycheck.
