Rondo For Most Improved?
Published 3/14/2008 at CelticsBlog
Empty The Bench names Rondo one of the 7 most improved: The I-Just-Drank-a-Two-Liter-of-Jolt-fast Rondo has upped his production in every major statistical category except free-throwing shooting, which isn t much of a detriment to his game anyway since he s attempting less than 3/per. He s had solid games and he s had big games, but his ballsy performance on March 5 against renewed-rival Detroit Pistons is the one that likely stands out amongst the Celtics faithful.

As the NBA’s league leader in assist-to-turnover ratio at 4.94, Calderon has been a model of efficiency especially if you combine that lofty number with his high field-goal (53.2%) and free-throw (92.2%) percentages.
