Default Are Rajon Rondo's arms too big?

That kid has bigger arms then KG.. makes me think thats probably why his jumper is so ugly.

Reggie Miller long arms and he is one of the best shooters of all time, so no thats not a valid excuse.

the size of his hands are huge contribute to his shooting woes but it is an obstacle he can over come. However, his freakishly long arms and big hands also help him a great deal defensively and with rebounding.

Big hands don't affect shooting. The reason most centers don't have good J's isn't b/c of their big hands, it is because they are oafishly big and clumbsy...they generally don't have the motor skills to shoot sweet J's.

Rajon Rondo has the sexiest arms in the NBA

But anyways, I don't think that would affect his shot in any way.
And about the hands, Kwame Brown has small hands and he ain't got no valid shot.

rondo has the physical gifts to be a good player and a good shooter. he just never developed a great shot. he will be a poor man's jason kidd when all is said and done.

I'm still surprised he was drafted. I figured he'd be raking a lawn right now in Idaho or something barely making ends meet. He literally brings nothing to the table. I would take an aging Eric Snow over Rondo five times out of five.

Joey Graham is a decent shooter and he's jacked.

His arms are not the issue, he just has alot of really bad shooting habits(one being the fact he shoots with the ball next to the side of his head) and a really long release.

So when he plays he brings nothing to the table? His driving, and great rebound and assist numbers mean nothing? He impacts their flow on offense immensely.
