Rose. without much thought.

Imagine if Rose had KG, Allen, The Truth and Sheed.

I'd say Rondo. Better vision, better defense, scores more efficiently (even without a jumper).

1. Cut a hole in a box
2. Put your Kirk in that box
3. Make some team open that box

I wanna see Rondo without 3 guys that the defense has to account for at all times. All the efficiency would drop off.

Not just three guys, but three hall of famers.

Metal sharpens metal.

And this guy right here understands and knows what leadership is all about: The coach, the hall of famer......... Dick Butka! George Ryan

Rose

Rondo has holes you can’t patch and highlights you can take away with fundamental defense.

Rose can take his game to any level he wants. We need a real coaching staff to get him there offensively. The current staff is drilling him on defense and to take all their open shots on offense.

The first guy says Rondo scores more efficiently

and then tells us Rose has the higher eFG%. Is there a better way of measuring scoring efficiency?

He also says Rondo has the edge physically

and then in the middle of the paragraph acknowledges that rose is the better athlete:

“Because of this, the difference in sheer athleticism between the two isn’t as far apart as one would be inclined to think.”

TS%

True

but wouldn’t Rose’s higher FT% make him more efficient by that measure as well?
(not to say that you claimed otherwise)

Rondo has played better so far

Rose is having a rough start…. and Rondo was the one who beat the Bulls in last year’s playoff.
But I still think Rose has the potential to be better… let’s see
