.... in 2006, Rajon "Johnny" Rondo was chosen 21st in the NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix made the mistake of trading him later that night to the Boston Celtics. It ultimately turned out to be a blessing, as he was able to get to a team with point guard needs and was surrounded by three aging Hall of Famers. I'm not gonna lie though, I would've loved to see him play a few years in the run and gun of Phoenix. Can you imagine Rondo in the D'Antoni Phoenix offense? Would've been fun to see. In his first season, Rondo was named to the NBA All-Rookie second team in spot duty off the bench. Johnny had four steals in a game six different times during his rookie campaign. As we all know, he went on to lead the Celtics to an NBA title in 2008, and was the best player on the Celtics team that made it to NBA Finals in 2010.
