Strengths

Scoring guard with good length and the ability to handle the ball in a secondary role (1.9 tpg) Efficient scorer put up a 493/.343/.840 with a silky smooth jumper out to 18 feet and the ability to knock down the open 3 on occasion. The three pointer improved as his career went on shooting 35+% in all but one year that he attempted more than one 3PFG a game. Never took more than 2 threes a game. Durable, played 75 plus games in 10 of 13 seasons and 10 of first 11 seasons. Averaged 18+ppg 9 straight seasons. Know for his tenacity on both end of the floor and a good position defender who does not foul a lot (1.7 per game). Uses his solid handle to get into the lane and score. Loves to run out in transition. Great mid range game as illustrated by his .840 FT percentage for career.

Weaknesses

Rolando is not big stealer of the basketball only averaging 0.7 a game during his career career. Although his handle allows for spot minutes at the 1 he lacks the strength for the three and the quickness to start full time at the point. Is a decent but not great rebounder (3.3 per game) Is a very complete basketball player who never elevated his game from very good starter to true star despite making four all star games.

Notes

Drafted with the ninth overall pick in 1981. 4 Time All Star. Took him until his 3rd season to really become an excellent player but started after his rookie year.
