Overrated doesn't mean BAD necessarily. If you're a top 50 player, you're good, but if everyone says you're top 10 you're still overrated.
Rondo has one of the least impressive careers and resumes out of any player that people consider to be a lock for the HoF. There's a reason the term ''Rondo assist'' became a thing: his numbers do lie, or at least, don't tell the whole truth.
Also yes true, if Lonzo takes a +25% leap in his FT shooting and starts drawing them that would be a huge deal. Massive ask, though. How many players ever make leaps like that? We just had Ingram take a 20% leap and that was incredible, we're now asking Lonzo to make an even larger one within just a year or two?
