You think the dual guard, dual center experiment will last?
Its Gentry, so of course it will. Holiday at SG will be better than when we tried it because in my eyes, Dragic really needed the ball in his hands to be effective, where i dont think Holiday will have that issue. Rondo also had a great rapport with Cousins in Sac, and a lot of his assists in Sac came from Cousins, so i think Rondo will do just fine in New Orleans. His assists and steals will be there, but i think his rebounds will take a huge hit and of course he isnt going to score a ton, but thats not why people take him, they grab him specifically for those assists and steals.
Really? I feel like Holiday definitely needs the ball in his hands. He's not a knock down shooter (only about 35% from deep over the last 3 years) and I think that could be an issue. And of course Rondo not having a consistent jumper will hurt. Especially having two big guys in there clogging up the lane(I know both now have range to 3 but still they will be around the block a lot of the time too). then you got the fact that Holiday and Cousins will still have the ball in their hands as they are both quality passers. I think Rondo's assists could be capped because of the quality of passers around him.
And that's not even talking defensively. Rondo isn't the same defensive player he was in Boston, and Holiday is coming off a major injury. Could cause some issues with perimeter defense.
