+1, Edge to Paul, but imagine if Rondo had a consistent jump shot .............................. He needs to get in Ray's head before its too late. You can't play with Ray and not improve your jump shooting, so weird.
How does playing with a good shooter make another player a better shooter? Maybe some contagious work ethic, but there are some players who simply have bad mechanics and poor (relative to level, in this case NBA) motor memory. In other words Rondo might simply not be capable of reproducing the same shot like Allen can.
It reminds me of the coach that talked about his attempt to help Mo Vaughn become a good fielder. He said, "I hit the first million grounders to him. Good luck to whoever hits the next million!"
Rondo has really long arms which contributes to his shooting woes. It's likely more than a mechanics thing with Rondo. If any expects him to develop into a very good jumpshooter, I think you'll be very dissapointed. I'm sure he can get better. Jason Kidd worked hard on his shooting and improved enough to keep defenses honest. I think that's about the best Rondo could ever accomplish.
I haven't watched Chris Paul all that much. I know he's a better scorer than Rondo. Does he make those around him better? How is his defense? Good, not so good, a liability?
Rondo has been a good fit for Boston, but with the team getting old and likely being very different in a year or two, this change is probably for the better if they can pull it off.
