Clippers fans, what is Eric Bledsoe's ceiling?

[CrimsonTider]

Rondo isn't undersized.

Rondo is the best you can hope a starting PG that can't shoot turns into.

I'm not a clippers fan, but to me his ceiling is a top 15 pg at best he could possibly reach top 10 if he tries hard enough.

he's also almost 24 years old. if he doesn't break out break out next season i might have to place him at top 15 at best.

Serious question. Why do you think Rondo is still such a shytty shooter? I mean he's gotta know that's his biggest weakness.

 

[Brozay]

He'll be a high level starter in the league but I don't think he will be on the level of a Westbrook or D-rose.

so he wont be an all time great?

They won't let him go because they're not sure what Paul is going to do. U think with some time on the floor that he's a top 5 pg. That's why I want Mitch to find a way to pull the trigger in a trade for him and Blake.

think about the top 5 tho... russ, rose, curry, kyrie, wall

rose & russ are the oldest at 24

Rondo isn't really a shytty shooter anymore. His mid range game this season before he went down was really good. He shot 48% on long 2 pointers, but still isn't even a decent 3 point shooter. Mainly he's just always looking to pass instead of looking to take a shot.

He shouldnt even aim to be a 3 point shooter. Thats a huge problem with players now. Everyone wants to be a 3 point shooter. Rondo could be great, if he buckled down and just became a good/great mid-range shooter. It would still stretch defenses and keep them from sagging into the paint

Nor do I think he will be on that next level of Jrue Holiday Ty Lawson types. I think he'll be a better version of a Darren Collison type.

The only time I ever saw him taking 3s were when there was no time left on the clock, so I don't really think he wants to be that.

But he was doing exactly what you're talking about with the mid-range game this season. He finally started taking the shots when it was given to him and he made a good percentage. Still looks reluctant to take it though.

Bledsoe definitely has a higher ceiling than him given his athleticism, but Rondo is one of the smartest guards in the game right now. When I saw Bledsoe play he always looked out of control.

 

[HollywoodP]

They got Chauncey Billips and Jamal Crawford (yes i know he's a SG but he can and has played pg)...plus another scrub...not to mention Chris Paul. I don't get why their so scared to trade him for some talent...they got plenty of options at that position unless CP3 leaves.

 

[The_Third_Man]

Bledsoe is great athletic pg. He's excellent at pick-and-roll situations. the combination of speed, power, aggression and freakish wingspan (6'8) makes him imposing defender. The closest comparison is a smaller Westbrook.

Whether Bledsoe can run a team as a full time point guard has yet to be determined.
