Rajon Rondo Is Having An Historic Begin To The 2014-15 Season

Three games in the 2014-15 Celtics season, Rajon Rondo continues to be working his way back to be able to full health. The point guard missed the full preseason as he recovered at a broken left hand that he suffered in late September. At this point, he’s still trying to shake off the offensive rust from of which extended absence in regular time of year game action after missing most of Boston’s training camp last calendar month.

In spite of these obstacles, the 28-year-old has leave the gate this year looking far more consistent than he did in the course of his 30 regular season game titles last season. In fact, Rondo’s already been posting some historic early year numbers, according to the ESPN Stats and Info.

Overall Rondo is actually averaging 8. 0 points, 8. 7 rebounds in addition to 11. 7 assists per sport over that stretch, but his production continues to be fairly consistent across the box score board every night.

vs. Brooklyn: 13 points, 7 rebounds & 12 assists
@ Houston: 4 points, 10 rebounds &  8 assists
@ Dallas: 7 points, 9 rebounds & 15 assists

The good news doesn’t halt there, though.

Rondo hasn’t already been perfect. His shot (37. 9 percent in the field) and turnovers (4. 3 for every game) need some work, but you can chalk in place those stats to rust above all else in the early going. When you factor that in, it’s hard not to be impressed by the amount of all-around output Rondo has produced over the first week of the NBA season.

Another encouraging part regarding Rondo’s stellar beginning season play is that his athleticism appears to be back as well. There is not any better evidence of this compared to the point guard’s breakaway dunk on Saturday night up against the Rockets.

That was the 1st slam for No. 9 within a game since the night he tore his ACL up against the Hawks in January 2013.

Celtics president Danny Ainge informed Celtics fans prior to the season he expected the greatest season of Rondo’s career this season. Knowing a clean bill of health is in route for the point guard, Rondo’s impressive start may be just the start of a historic campaign for this Celtics captain.
