Boston Celtics

Best Player On The Roster: Rajon Rondo

2013-14 Stats: 11.7 points, 9.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds

Word: Rajon Rondo is superbly talented, but is being hidden on a rebuilding ball club in Boston. Rondo has seen some really good days, and some awfully bad ones, in the last few seasons. He has some character issues and is often characterized as difficult to coach. His talent though, is never questioned.

Worst “Good” Player On The Roster: Evan Turner

2013-14 Stats: 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists (Sixers, Pacers)

Word: I know the narrative around Evan Turner has been about that anti-praise life. Although, he’s not really that bad — and really bad all at the same time. For some reason, Turner can still score in the NBA. For some other reason, no one wants him — except for the Boston Celtics. Evidently.
