Paul George praises new LA Clipper Rajon Rondo's leadership, compares to Russell Westbrook partnership

LOS ANGELES -- It didn't take Paul George long to see what Rajon Rondo can do for the LA Clippers.

Rondo made his Clippers debut Sunday, playing 13 minutes off the bench in a 104-86 win over the undermanned Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center.

While Rondo had just two points, three rebounds and four turnovers as he plays on a minutes restriction after returning from an adductor injury, George can see all the intangibles Rondo brings.

George said Rondo's impact as a playmaker can help him and Kawhi Leonard the way Russell Westbrook helped George when the two were in Oklahoma City.
