University of Kentucky sophomore guard Rajon Rondo has been named Co-Player of the Week by the Southeastern Conference after scoring a career-high 25 points and seven assists in UKâs upset-win over No. 4 Louisville Saturday. The Louisville, Ky., native shares the award with Tennesseeâs Chris Lofton, who had 21 points in the Volsâ upset of No. 6 Texas Saturday.
Rondo leads the Wildcats in scoring (16.6 pg), rebounding (9.1 pg), assists (5.3 pg) and steals (2.1 pg) this season. Heâs started all nine games in which heâs played, missing the Georgia State game with strep throat. The All-American candidate has tallied double-figure rebounds on four occasions and has had three double-doubles this year. This is the first Player of the Week honor for UK this season and the first-ever for Rondo. Patrick Sparks earned the recognition twice last year. Itâs the 15th time a UK player has earned the honor since 2000.

Yeah, he still has a lot of work to do on his jumpshot before he can be a PG at the next level. The kid is an awesome slasher and has great court vision. He's got some work major to do on his shot, though...his scoring stats are misleading, because he has been getting most of his points at the end of the game in garbage time...
I feel much better about Rondo becoming more of a scoring threat, because Tubby has told him to start driving the lane everytime.
