Rondo vs. Stuckey
We all know who the better player is now, but who do you think will be the better pg and player in the future?
Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:
"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

Stuckey is more of a Combo guard. I think Stuckey has more "offensive potential" than Rondo does but its hard to go against Rondo in this because he's more proven.
Also, with Billups and RIP in front of him Stuckey may not have the opportunity to play 30+ MPG in the near future.
Rondo should certainly win this poll.

After watching these two players in the playoffs, I pose the question again:

Re: Rondo vs. Stuckey
I don't know how fair this. Stuckey is a shoot-first combo guard, so pitting him against a pure, pass-first point guard makes it hard to give an accurate response.
I think Rondo has more potential because, if he adapts a jumpshot, he can control the game in so many ways (scoring, rebounding, passing, defending). But Stuckey showed me a lot this year. He will, IMO, be a far better scorer than Rondo will become, but that is (as mentioned) just one part of the game.

Stuckey. Rondo was a HUGE liability for a large portion of these playoffs, he was easily the weakest link for the Celtics...

Re: Rondo vs. Stuckey
From what we've seen, easily Rondo.
Also, Stuckey shot 37% in the playoffs.

Re: Rondo vs. Stuckey
I really think they're very different players. Stuckey's much more of a combo guard. It's unfair to Stuckey to compare him to Rondo as a point. Stuckey's best skills fall into a different category.

This is the opposite of what every one of his opponents and teammates have stated, most recently Phil Jackson who said he was the most important player in determining the deciding game.
