I don't know if this team will "make Rondo better" (whatever that means).
But I think last night's loss to the Bobcats is pretty compelling evidence that he could definitely make this team better.
Nothing encapsulates what is wrong with our offense right now more than the fact that Green scored 19 points ... on just 13 shots.
Instead of Crawford, Bradley and our other guards trying to be all "AI" and looking for their own shot, we need the offense to be feeding Green more. Green should be taking at least 16 shots per game. Preferably 18 or 20 in a game like last night.
THIS, imho, is what Rondo can bring that we are missing. The ability to feed the most efficient scorers in our offense. Rondo has the vision to recognize quickly when we have a mismatch and will work to get the ball to that mismatch.
Rondo also will give better guidance on the floor on getting the team to execute plays to _create_ those mismatches. Yes, this will require 'pounding the ball' while getting the offense organized, but it is a fundamental that you can't win in the NBA playing street ball forever. Fast break is great, but you have to execute in the half court.
Right now, we have no leadership in the half court game. We've done decent in executing out of time-outs. But otherwise, in the flow of the game, if we aren't getting way out in front of the defense, our offense is dying because none of our points knows how to really run a half court game.
There is currently too much dribble up & drive with no organized-creation. We need to be running more actual plays to actually create mismatches and free up shots for our better scoring weapons.
And I know it has been great to have 'everybody involved', but the fact is, some of our guys are much more efficient scorers than others. Green, in particular, should be getting the lion's share of USG on this team. Yet Green is only getting 13.3 shots per 36 and his USG% is 4th on the team at just 22%. Gerald Wallace needs to also be taking more shots. Wallace is dead last on the team in USG% at just 11.8%.
Both Green AND Wallace are scoring extremely efficiently (both in eFG% and in points-per-shot) but are _combining_ for only 18.3 shots per 36. That's simply not going to result in enough production from two of our best weapons, logging over 60 minutes of playing time combined, and from the SF spot in particular.
The other guys need to get them the [dang] ball.
It is my opinion, that Rondo would help tremendously in this aspect of the game.
