Wall, hands down IMO.

 

I still remember Rondo dribbling around on the last shot vs. MSU at the end of the First OT and then passing it with little time left.

 

Wall would have taken charge and put the burden on himself at that point.:thumb:

They are both preety good but Rondo under Coach Cal would have scored more.

 

We'll never know for sure. We can only go by what really unfolded IMO.

Well, considering that Rondo is an NBA All Star already, I'll take him right now.

 

If we're talking about the future, I think I could live with either.

 

If we're talking about freshman season at UK, I'll take Wall.

I disagree. Rondo was not a fit for Tubby's system, but there are plenty of colleges where Rondo would have looked a lot better in the NCAA...

:thumb:Winner!!!! Rondo would have looked much better under Pitino, just to name one. If Coach Cal had got him he would have been a higher draft pick, JMO.

 

I go with Wall as a better freshman than Rondo.

I would like to have seen Rondo play uner coach Cal .

 

:thumb: I said a long time ago, you don't really know how good Rondo could be under Tubby's system.

Rondo really didn't catch on until KG and Ray Allen got to Boston, so IMO to compare him as a freshman to John Wall is laughable. Rondo wasn't even that good at UK, though I think he would have thrived under Cal.

If this question is about how these guys played when they were freshmen, I don't see how anyone could say Rondo over Wall...

 

Anything Rondo has done since his freshman year should not enter this equation at all, including what-if scenarios. They didn't happen, so we can't use those comparisons.

As freshmen, Wall is the better player. As pros, that will have to wait and see. Rondo has a case to be called the best PG in the NBA right now.

Set the single season steal record as a freshman. Not that good? That is laughable!!

And one of them is right down the road from Lexington...

Rondo's averages: 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.6 steals

Wall's averages: 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.8 steals

 

Minutes played?

 

Also, Wall came in from Day 1 & was supposed to be the star & go-to guy. Rondo was not, so the #'s can be a little misleading.

I'd have loved to see Rondo play for Jay Wright...

Rondo was a very, very good PG at Kentucky. Tubby just had him rained in a little too tight.

Another great possibility. Their styles certainly seem to mesh.

Rondo isn't a scoring PG, and at least IMO to be a successful NCAA PG, you need to be able to shoot and score (ex. Wall and Scheyer). Just my opinion though, which is why I feel like his game is built more for the NBA.
