Why? He never was a true PG and now he moves over into a role he is 
made for and played in college - the Jue Dumars combo guard role. He 
still has that beautiful shot and is still able to handle enough, 
along with the natural leadership that having him on the floor when 
other teams press us gives us a huge advantage. And I wouldn't be so 
sure about Rondo getting all those minutes over him. I've no doubt 
about Delonte using this as motivation to improve his weaknesses, 
such as too many other PG blowing by him too easily, and Rondo is 
still a rookie with a lot to learn.
