Rajon Rondo Was Beat by an Eighth Grader

[Cody KP]

I don't want to completely disparage Rajon Rondo -- the kid definitely has some upside -- but he's clearly the weakest link in the Celtics' new-look starting five. Why? Quite simply, he can't shoot. Like, at all.

I'm a sophomore in high school and I have no doubt I could hit more than 52 jumpers out of 100.

OMFG!

Where was this when people here were saying he could shoot and had gotten better at shooting since he went 5 for 5 (all dunks, I'm sure) during an exhibition game? This should suprise on one, the boy couldn't shoot a pistol.

Darrel Carrier, when he played pro ball, could hit about 75% of his unguarded three point shots. His son, our Josh Carrier, could do almost as well. What you do in practice is certianly a different story than the one that shows up in the games when it counts.
