Rondo: "I think I'm just an average defender"

From the Herald:

“I think so. I think I have a lot of upside,” Rondo said. “I still think I can get better on defense. A lot of people think I’m a great defender, but I think I’m just an average defender right now. I can get a lot better. And defending is not about steals; it’s about locking your man up and being there for your teammates. I think I can improve, as far as keeping my man out of the paint. Just being solid, trying to be more solid this year, not gambling.”
