Rondo has established himself as one of the best passers in the league, but his creativity was on full display. With the four-time All-Star signing with the New Orleans Pelicans in free agency, Cousins will have to keep his hands ready for the unexpected passes in their second stint together.

As for Bledsoe, he has overcome numerous injuries and is looking to build off his best career year. After averaging 21.1 points and 6.3 assists in 66 games, his name was heavily discussed in the Kyrie Irving trade rumors before the Cleveland Cavaliers ultimately moved the one-time champion to the Boston Celtics.
