Mo Cheeks vs Rajon Rondo vs Mookie Blaylock

[durantbird]

Three defensive minded guards. How would you rate their play in peak form?

Mo is the better defender, Mookie best scorer and Rajon is the best leader. Who I prefer depends on the team needs. Maybe Mookie is the worst of the 3 but your splitting hairs with the other 2. My admiration for Rondo has grown over time.

Ill go with Rondo.

I think you can put Cheeks on any team, give him the keys and the team is in great hands. I call Mo Cheeks "The Little Fundamental." One of the highest IQ players I ever saw.

For their era, I'd probably go with Cheeks as well. Smart, tough, better size than Blaylock so more versatile defensively, better man defender though not better at creating turnovers. Blaylock might be the most valued in the modern era as he was one of the early 3 and D specialists. Rondo gives you the most burst scoring, particularly playoff Rondo which was a thing early in his career.
