<title>Playoff Retrospective: Rajon Rondo</title>
<description>Deviating from our usual Rookie Retrospectives, we’ll be taking a look at a player from the 2006 draft class who has blossomed into one of the League’s top young point guards—and see how we can apply the lessons we’ve learned to this year’s draft class.  Rajon Rondo was originally tabbed by the Phoenix Suns with the 21st overall pick before being shipped to Boston along with Brian Grant for a draft pick.  A prospect with unique tools, Rondo was projected by many as more of a defensive stopper who could provide some value as a passer.  Three years into his career, he’s already been a starter on a Championship team and has become a star in his own right behind three probable Hall of Famers. </description>

<title>Rookie Retrospective: Marc Gasol</title>
<description>In this of edition of our “Rookie Retrospectives” series, we’ll be looking at our first European player from the 2008 draft class, Marc Gasol.  After an impressive international stint playing for now-defunct Akasvayu Girona of his native Spain, Gasol decided to make the jump to the NBA.  With his rights traded from the Lakers to the Grizzlies during the famous Pau Gasol deal, Marc was expected to bring frontcourt toughness and an inside scoring presence to Memphis' thin front line.  Throughout his rookie campaign, Gasol proved his worth as an NBA starter and was named Second Team All-Rookie at season's end.  Although he may not possess the star potential of some other rookies we've covered, the Grizzlies will expect Gasol to become a major cog during the next couple seasons as he continues to adapt to the NBA.</description>
