Oh you guys give him more than his fair share of recognition on that.

Goodwin Much like Rondo will be better in the NBA than he is in college.

Did you really just make that last comment?? Rondo's problem is he played for a coach that liked to slow it down, so un-NBA like. Had Rondo played for Cal, he'd been an All-American in the dribble drive offense. So now you have Goodwin in a dribble drive offense, who on most possession makes bad passes if he even passes the ball at all. If he doesn't pass it, he drives the lane out of control & slops something up. Archie will find his way to the D-League during his career. He may not stay there & I hope he has a prosperous NBA career. But honestly, I'm not concerned if he's an NBA All-Star as I want production while at UK. While a fan of Rondo, I have always shied from really loving him because he never really produced at UK.

I made it and I second it.

I didnt say he was as good as Rondo. I said much like Rondo.

I don't know about that. With Cal, it's his way or no way (which is the way it is with any good coach, including Tubby). Always seemed to me that if Rondo wasn't allowed to play his way, he refused to give his all. He could have been a superstar in college if he weren't so stubborn. He's obviously one of the better point guard talents we've seen in the game for quite some time, but he could have left a much bigger mark on the Big Blue if he would have simply played to his ability. I've seen (on TV and in person) way too many childish or, for lack of a better word, spoiled-brat incidents with him.

I've had some call me crazy for this, but I've never been a big fan of Rondo.
