When the New Orleans Pelicans brought in veteran point guard Rajon Rondo, they knew what type of player they were going to get; a seasoned veteran with a defensive prowess and playmaking abilities that are invaluable to an organization. They understood Rondo would be taking on the role of team leader for this relatively young squad. Now, only 2 months into his tenure with the franchise, leadership is illuminating off of the 11-year pro.
Last month, Pelicans players squared off during a voluntary scrimmage in Lexington, Kentucky, to try and get acclimated to one another’s style of play before the start of the regular season on October 18th.
