Recap And Final Grade

The bad news for Bulls fans is Rondo’s numbers were not spectacular by any means. Similar to the previous two ball clubs he played with, Rondo did have his bad moments, but they were somewhat minor infractions.

On the flip side of the coin, Rondo did shoot a career best 38 percent from beyond the arc, which is significant considering he had a career 30 percent conversion rate from distance coming into the season.

Additionally, as was the case in the first round playoff series against the Celtics, the Bulls’ offense played much better when Rondo was in the starting lineup. This fact more than likely played a major role in why general manager John Paxson stated there is a good chance that Rondo will be back next year.

Being that the other four point guards failed to make an impact in the final four games of the playoffs series, it is safe to say the front office is wise to consider bringing Rondo back for another season.
