Rajon Rondo, Sacramento Kings

2014-15 Stats: 8.9 points, 7.9 assists, 5.5 rebounds

I’m really interested to see what kind of team the Sacramento Kings look like this season. On paper, they’re solid. They have a former all-star and top-tier point guard in Rajon Rondo, an underrated Rudy Gay and perhaps the best center in the NBA, DeMarcus Cousins.

I believe if the Kings are getting good Rajon Rondo, which we haven’t exactly seen in about two seasons, then they’re going to be an interesting team to follow – perhaps even good. Although, if they get bad Rajon Rondo, then they’ll still be interesting – just not good.

In a very weird way, Rondo is going to be the determining factor to how good this Kings team is this season.

Good luck with that, Sacramento.
