Better Passer in a Vacuum: Rondo, CP3, Kidd or Nash

All Prime

[falcolombardi]

nash imo, then paul

i think rondo is the less impressive of the 3 although still good, felt like his assits "repertoire" was more limited

i have honestly not watched enough prime kidd games to say about him

There is no vacuum. It's simply impossible to evaluate players like that. Nash and Paul were just far bigger threats to score than Kidd or Rondo and that absolutely plays into the passes that were available to them. But that doesn't mean Kidd or Rondo were better passers just because they were also high assist guards.

The bottom line is Nash and Paul are much better offensive players than Kidd and miles better than Rondo. Rondo doesn't belong in this grouping of players at all and Kidd hangs with the other 2 because he had other elite skills in his defense and rebounding.

But Nash and Paul pressure a defense so much more.

Came here to say this, but Chuck had already nailed it.
