Holy Rondo!

Scouts say his weaknesses are shooting and strength.

But in workouts thus far for Phoenix, Houston, Boston, Washington, Toronto, Minnesota and Sacramento, his shooting was crisp. He weighed 167 pounds at Kentucky. He weighs 175 pounds now.

"When I started this training," Rondo said, "I could lift 185 pounds about twice. Now I can do it seven or eight times."

He has used his predraft time to concentrate on his weaknesses. Some draft boards have him rated as high as No. 4.
