 Calderon is a fantastic point guard in terms of ball control, and is almost a lock for future All-Star games. He is a great point guard in terms of defense. He can guard almost any point guard in the league. He even occasionally guarded Kobe Bryant last season. Here are Calderon's stats from last season: 11.2 ppg, 8.3 apg, 2.9 rpg, 1.1 spg, 1.54 tpg while shooting 52% from the field, 43% from three and 91% from the line. Rajon Rondo on the other hand, is a young speedy point guard who went from a brutal team to a fantastic team. He started every game he played last year, with the comfort of both Sam Cassell (for some of the year) and Eddie House behind him. He doesn't get many points, but that is expected when you have most of the touches going to Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. However I don't understand how with that many great players, he could only get five assists a game. Rondo also is a lock for future All-Star games. since he is already one of the most explosive guards in the league, and has been improving each year he's been around. Here are Rondo's stats from the past season: 10.6 ppg, 5.1 apg, 4.2 rpg, 1.7 spg, 1.9 tpg, and he shot 49% from the field, but only 26.3% from three and only 61% from the stripe which isn't good at all. The Verdict: It's pretty hard to decide, since these players are so different but I think I would pick Calderon since he is more well-rounded and is also better shooter.
