Are you confident that he'll be just as good, if not better, coming off of the ACL tear? Steve Smith (Rajon Rondo's high school coach): No, I think he should be fine. He took a long time off and he's rehabbed the right way. Whether he stays in Boston or not who knows. I know, talking to Melo (Carmelo Anthony), he's recruiting Rajon to come to New York. Melo thinks he'll come too. You never know about that stuff though. I think either way, Rajon will be fine. USA Today - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.kynUbJcz.dpuf
