I have watched about 20 games of CP3 this season and he's definitely not a lockdown defender. He's a good defender no doubt, but there a better defenders even at the PG position. How can't you be sure about Rondo? He was leading the NBA in assists per game the past two seasons, tied John Stockton's 2nd longest streak in NBA history for most consecuctive 10+ assist games and set a new NBA record for most consecutive 11+ assist games. He's averaging 10 assists per 36 minutes (3rd in the league) after coming back from knee surgery...he's still the best passer in the league, definitely deserves dimer.
