Rondo is Not an Elite Point Guard

LINK

After the first round of the playoffs last year, I thought the pundits universally preferred Rajon Rondo to Derrick Rose. Apparently, I was smoking something, because the above link says otherwise. Yes, Devin Harris made the All-Star team last year. Would I take him over Rondo? Sure, if Rondo were out with an ankle injury. Steve Nash? Come on. I mean, all you would have to do is watch one Celtics-Suns game from the last couple of years and its clear that Nash and Rondo aren't even in the same league. Nash is repeatedly embarrassed on defense and often ineffectual on offense.

Give me a fewking break.

One thing I do agree with:

Derek Fisher didn't break the top 20. Since he's not as good as Eddie House, Rondo's back-up, he doesn't belong in the top 20.
