When the New Orleans Pelicans originally signed Rajon Rondo it was met with a mixed reaction. With his best years behind him and with the league moving towards three-point shooting, the league looked to pass Rondo by. However, since returning from injury Rondo has showcased that he still has something left in the tank.
Rondo, despite not being a threat to score himself is using his high basketball IQ to create efficient offense. He hits cutters with excellent timing and sets up teammates effortlessly. We have seen the Pelicans guards struggle all year to make decisions on the fly, and that is something that Rondo will help alleviate.
