I get what you mean and what Green meant. You're right Rondo isn't much of a shooter, but even if he is selfish, he is a facilitator. You're right, we need a PG that has a decent jump shot, but this team is desperate for shooters in general.
lol Rondo absolutely needs the ball in his hands. How else will he get his 20 assists? He's a bad shooter despite the 36% 3pt%. His FG% is generally high, as it should be since he basically only shoots layups. I think he could work in theory, but it depends on his attitude. But if you're just looking for a guy who will rack up assists Rondo is your guy.
Whoopdeedoo, he's made 36 3s on the year. But hey, more than Rose right?
Well imo floor spacing would still be worse with Rondo as players will still play way off of him. His percentages might be better than Rose's, even if you remove the horrid start, but guys will play Rondo like a non-shooter, that's just how it is. Unless he establishes himself like a Jason Kidd who drastically improved his shooting stroke and he starts knocking down 3s at a 36% rate consistently at more than 2 attempts per game that probably won't change. But something Rose can do that Rondo can't is knock down a midrange shot. That affects spacing too, though not as much as having 3pt shooters, which, by the way, Rudy Gay is but a mediocre one. All that to say, I see the spacing argument.
JJ Redick murders players without the ball the same way Steph can.
