NBA Free Agency: 5 Best Point Guards Available in 2018

#3 Rajon Rondo

Rondo proved he still has value, especially in the playoffs

Since leaving Boston in 2014, Rajon Rondo's career took a wrong turn. He had a bad breakup with Dallas, a meaningless year in Sacramento and another problematic season with Chicago. This season, however, the former NBA champion found a soft landing spot in New Orleans.

Sharing the Pelicans' backcourt with Jrue Holiday, Rondo averaged 8.3 points and 8.2 assists, helping New Orleans return to the playoffs, despite losing Center DeMarcus Cousins to injury in late January. Rondo proved the importance of his experience in the first round, where he averaged 11.3 points, 13.3 assists and 7.5 rebounds, helping his team sweep the third-seeded Trail Blazers.

Even though he is no longer the defensive stopper and All-Star point guard he used to be, Rondo can still have an important impact on a playoff team. His passing ability and postseason experience are two things not a lot of point guards in this league have.

Rondo might want to stay in New Orleans and play with Holiday and Anthony Davis, but if the Pelicans won't offer him enough, another team could snatch him right out of their hands.
