Rajon Rondo-Acie Law

There is a discussion on the Hawks board regarding who is the better prospect. Just wanted to get the opinions of some neutral observers.

Rondo received more PT in his first two seasons and has looked quite good at times. But many argue that he is a product of the players around him. Meanwhile, Law is a bit behind in the development curve but he showed some nice flashes this season and his minutes were limited by Woodson.

Rondo isn't a product of the players around him, period. He produced just as well last season in the 25 games he started, so that "argument" is a non-starter. He's perhaps the best defensive point guard in the NBA already. And you saw yourself how well he can dribble, pass, drive, shoot, finish, decide -- underrated offensively, no? Acie Law looked pretty good, don't get me wrong. If I'm the Hawks I still want to bring in a better veteran PG than Bibby for next year, but Law is good enough to take over sooner than later. He's just not on Rondo's level, though.

Rondo by faaarrrr
Rondo can be a future allstar
Acie Law can be a better version of Tyrone Lue, imo

Rondo has more exposure not only on these boards, but in the NBA as well.

There's also a lot more Boston fans than Atlanta fans.

The poll will be meaningless.

I'm going with Law. I thought when he was drafted he had a chance tro be a very good NBA point guard. He had a tough year with injuries, but I still believe Law can be a better PG than Rondo is right now.

How was Rondo left off the All-NBA First Team?

What can't he do?!

That's unfair, it was his rookie season. I think Acie Law will be a good point guard, but will take a while to get there. This comparison goes to Rondo.

What about him makes you want to take him over Rondo?

rondo is well on his way to replacing mark blount as my least favorite NBA player.

I just think he is the greater talent. Rondo is better now, but I like Law's all around game.
