He has four All-Star appearances, was named All-NBA, made four All-Defense teams, won two championships, and led the league in assists on three different occasions.When it comes to pure point guards who run an offense, Rondo is one of the best. He had an incredibly high IQ on the floor, which led to him being one of the top game managers in the league. Most people remeber his old Boston Celtics teams for their star power, but his ability to run the offense was a key factor in them winning a championship in 2008.One argument that can be made for the Memphis Grizzlies star is that he is a superstar-level player. Rondo was a very good play, but could never be a franchise guy like Morant is now.Overall, the main reason why Morant was probably put so high is because they were projecting out to the future. The former No. 2 pick already approaching superstar status, and is only 23 years old. Based on this trajectory, he has the potential to be better than Rondo when he reaches the prime of his career.
