After being snubbed from Sports Illustrated’s recent Top 100 list, Rajon Rondo has been ranked by SLAM Magazine as the 50th best player in the NBA for the coming 2015-16 season.
SLAM’s Dan Hanna praised the Kings new guard, writing that he still stands out in a league full of high scoring point guards such as Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose.
“…Point guards are taking on a much larger scoring role, but even so, it remains the job of the point guard to facilitate and make every single guy on his team better,” Hanna wrote.
