A lot of people still say Rondo cannot shoot at all from the outside...
Rondo is shooting 44% from 16-23 feet this year, which ranks 5% above the league average. That's higher than Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and LeBron James and is the 10th best percentage among point guards.
He is taking 2.6 of these 16-23 feet jump shots per game.
Whether it be grabbing some 4th quarter offensive rebounds, making audiences ohhh and ahhh at his crafty moves, messing around and getting a triple double, swishing his vastly improved jumpshot or turning the speed on and picking the passing lane, Rondo has shaped quite nicely in front of our eyes these past few years and has to be considered one of the NBA's premier talents.
