What to expect from Rajon Rondo in New Orleans

Much like his early days with the Celtics, Rajon Rondo will be focused on distributing with the Pelicans. Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

Longtime fantasy managers know that rostering and activating well-traveled point guard Rajon Rondo isn't always what it's advertised to be. On one hand, we all love point guards that pile on the assists and steals for those are important categories, and not all the gifted passers in the NBA are so adept at providing steals as well. Rondo does this. He's a pass-first player on offense and he pays attention to the defensive side of things as well. For this we thank him as his role with the New Orleans Pelicans is about to expand and fantasy relevance will surely be gleaned.
