25. Sacramento Kings
Backcourt: Rajon Rondo & Ben McLemore
We have no idea what version of Rajon Rondo we will see this season, and that’s a problem. Will we get the Celtics or Mavericks version of Rondo?
He has plenty of young talent to work with, but also a hard-nosed coach who I’m sure he will bump heads with. McLemore has struggled since entering the league and, on this team, will never be asked to be the main man.
Rondo is still a threat to get 10 assist per game and McLemore still has the potential to put up 15 a game. If they can co-exist, then the Kings should be good this season.
