Since I'm remembering this piecemeal (the hummus thing at the end erased my memory)... Rondo in the top 30 is a stretch -- that means, if NBA talent were redistributed through a fantasy draft, he'd be some team's reasonable first pick. Top 60, ok, but if he's your second best guy, your team is gonna be baaaaad. Rondo's well known and the stuff he does well is celebrated, but that's largely because Boston won a ring and he's in a top defensive team anchored and floor-coached by KG. I'm not saying he isn't a really good player -- he is. But top 30 is a distinction that should go to guys you can actually expect to build a team around, while Rondo is a guy who fills in a lot of holes but doesn't anchor anything. Put it this way... if Rondo wanted out, could Boston expect to get an all-star point guard in return? Probably not...
