I don't know a guard who doesn't play under the screen role on rondo, you want him to shoot. As well speed for speed and athleticism for athleticism, rose can stay with rondo if the coach tells him to. I sight the one on one situation when Rose Blocked rondo for the game winning shot, it was an iso possession and rose did what most don't recognize him for, put the Clamps on people, Im not trying to play what your saying, Not a fan of the player just a fan of the game if you catch me... Though now i believe i was wrong about the back court thing, not cause of the D but i forgot that Deng will be coming back and that sure to move the Salmons to the two and Hinrich to the sixth spot out of the starting position, so i'm wrong about then being in the top ten in starting. But not about roses D. He plays it at a 10 ten for position level. Rondo is not a jump shooter though and that’s about how everyone plays him, cut off the lane, stop the penetration.

Just using the Celtics series as an example, but Rose simply couldn't stay with Rondo. Even giving Rondo three or four feet on certain situations and going under screens and still couldn't manage. Rose and Chris Paul are similiar in that, whoever they are paired up with instantly becomes a great backcourt, but right now I just don't think Rose/Hinrich makes the cut, even considering defense.
