https://www.espn.com/nba/stats/player/_/table/offensive/sort/threePointFieldGoalPct/dir/desc

Currently not in the rankings bc he missed 10 games, but he will be on there soon if he keeps it up. He is on pace to hit 100.8 three pointers this season (72 games * 1.4 per game)

Not sustainable . I’ll be happy if he makes at least 40 and take all the open 3 ball that defense gives him.

Not seen any of their games. From the boxscore , it looks he has nice games on blowouts. I dunno if it’s Quinn Cook level but I do know Svi got some skills and can shoot. He’s just not ready for our team.

Probably will not continue like this but if he can be around 35-38 % will be awesome for us. I hope he can.

48% probably not sustainable but I would not be shocked if he stays above 40% if he only takes those wide open ones.

Pretty crazy the type of criticism and blanket statements we were getting about him all season. Even now, it seems like many just want to wait for him to have a bad game and jump all over him.

Howard, Caruso, Rondo. All have been assets to this team as bench players.

Kuzma, Daniels, Cook. Very up and down off the bench. When we get something from them, it is a huge bonus for us.

he was one of my favorite project prospects from last year. Also played solid positional defense of keeping his man in front of him. I hated that we traded him AND a 2nd for Bullocks as a too little, too late move when it was already clear we should be tanking and preparing for next season.

impressive..probably not sustainable as others said..mainly because people were leaving quite open, thus, the high percentage

Now I notice teams don't leave him open because he is knocking them down so that may drop his percentage.

Rondos 3 point accuracy developed over time with repetition and practice just like Magic and Cooper. His shot has become pretty dependable.

Vogel said he was seeing Rondo shoot from outside at the Lakers gym all summer and off season and it was looking good. He is not surprised Rondo is shooting well, because in the summer it seemed to working for him as well. Kudos to Rondo to keep working on a major weakness in his game. This is a HOF player potentially, and he had a major flaw in his game that was keeping from being a positive impact player. Now with this shot, even if it comes down to 38% or so, it makes him a threat to pass and shoot. Teams will still not defend him tight, but they will pay.

But even that is not what Rondo does best for the team. Someone needs to make a highlight of all the feeds Rondo does to Lebron and AD in the post or in the paint on the move against a pressured defense. No one else on the team can get the ball to the superstars like that.

Hope he sustains it. It's the only thing that would justify his playing time once Bradley gets back.

His the only bench that is able to break down defense so far. Caruso/KCP occasionally, Cook even more occasionally, Kuz still rounding in shape I hope

If he does, we better give Jason Kidd some major props, because Kidd is the 1 working with Rondo.

Rondo on the face of it seems like a ridiculous Hall of Famer. I was surprised to see Basketball Reference gives him a 40% chance of making it -- same as Chris Mullin, Paul Westphal, and Shawn Kemp.

His credentials don't seem HoF worthy to me -- four-time all-star, one all-NBA team, four all-D teams, two years leading the league in assists, and a ring.

I hated the way Rondo played last season but so far this season he has been good. Our second best playmaker, good rebounder, and has been hitting the three ball. It's the best he's looked in a long time
