Best Year:

Chris Paul has one of the greatest point guard seasons ever putting together a 23-6-11 50% FG 36% 3FG 87% FT 3 STL 3 TO, amazing... Rajon Rondo's best year, unlike Chris Paul's has just passed last year, his 11-4-11 pales in comparison to Paul's but when you add his 48% FG and 2 STL it's still a great all- star season, then you have to bring in his 23% 3FG, 57% FT and 3 turnovers and it's still all star quality and a good starting PG but not close to Paul's.

Best Year: Paul

Paul has the obvious upside in scoring with his higher efficiency and 8 point higher total, he can also score from inside and outside while Rondo's scoring is limited to layups, dunks and close range jumpers.

Passing:

Chris Paul has been an amazing passer since his intro to the league in 2005 while Rondo has blossomed into one of the leagues passers. Chris Paul carries his teams to win while turning overpaid under achievers into legitimate starters while Rajon Rondo has learned passing while passing to hall of famers, but now he's the one keeping them legitimate starters.

Passing: Tied


Defence:

Chris Paul seems to be the better defensive player in stats, his steals are higher but Rajon Rondo is the best defensive point guard in the league with Jrue Holiday looming, he's a better defender on the jump shot, man to man and he doesn't back down to anyone, not to mention his defensive intensity and hustle, Chris Paul is good but Rondo is the best.

Defence: Rondo


Overall: Paul

Chris Paul won in a 3-1-1 fashion, taking the decision and star point guard role, he's also our pick for most pure point guard in the league.

The Next Big Thing: Rashad Colbert PT.1

Where to start? Well maybe with the fact that he is atleast a Malcolm Lee type and skill level player, but for now let's get to know him shall we?

Rashad Colbert, a 5'11 160 pound PG could end up being All-Conference or even a Top-10 PG, Rashad is a Celtics and Rajon Rondo fan, who works to get what he deserves, the thing is he hasn't gotten it yet. He was seemingly under recruited due to lack of playing time throughout high school, It hasn't put him down though, Rashad plays with a chip on his shoulder that only increases his intensity and potential!


Rashad can ball, he uses his passion for the game as a fuel... It energizes him, Rashad drives, pulls up, spot shoots, and stop and pops with immense accuracy, the thing is he's just getting started. Rashad can move with or without the ball, and according to coach Matt Williams Rashad A.K.A. "Showtime" is a "tireless worker" If Rashad joins a team like UCLA, UCA (Conway), Washington or even Oregon State (not for style but rather to learn from defensive mastermind Jared Cunningham). Rashad can play combo guard if you want him too, but probably works best as a scoring PG, Tim Hardaway like, he can dish but would be best used as a scorer and PG pressure point, He could also be used effectively for steal in low post double teams. Rashad has a work habit and ethics combo that rivals the best of them and will no doubt keep growing, he has shown that as coach Matt Williams has also been quoted saying "When I first met Rashad, he was a talented, but un-coachable athlete.  Over the years I have witnessed his maturation first-hand. Now, he is very respectful of authority and seeks coaching and advice. He loves the game of basketball and everything about it."  Tell me you don't want that kind of guy in your system, and if you do your crazy. Rashad will turn into a star or at the very least Jamal Crawford, so pick him up while you still can, plus the kid's talent and potential are unbelievable.


Rashad should be put in an uptempo style of play, like UCLA, Washington or a dribble drive like many other colleges, coach Romar would create an unstoppable monster out of Rashad, but we'll get into that in PT.2


Getting to know Rashad is probably a good thing, then maybe when your playing him, he won't break your ankles with a cross. Recruiting Rashad is a better idea, then you won't have to deal with him ripping your heart out with daggers, or give you shivers when icing close games!


BTW Div. I is gonna be cake for Rashad!
