Kevin Garnett has been bragging about how good Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo looks in training camp.

"I'm telling you, man, he's looking great," Garnett told the Boston Herald of Rondo. "To me, he's the best looking person in here, and we have some (good looking) people from Ray (Allen) to Rasheed (Wallace) to Big Baby (Glen Davis).

"(But Rondo) looks razor sharp. If you were to slide down Rondo right now you'd probably be cut. Seriously, he looks that razor sharp. He looks that strong. Today he was coming down on a 3-on-3 and he pulled up at the free throw line and was mad that he missed the jump shot.

"But he has the confidence," Garnett continued. "I love him right now. He's salivating at the mouth right now."

Garnett also publicly gave Rondo advice on a possible contract extension.

"You don't just play with it during negotiations or when you're trying to make a point," the forward said. "Every year you get a jersey you're trying to prove a point, trying to get better. ... Every year you get to display your art and craft, this is your mindset.

"I told him, man, just his confidence and how he's looking (is good), and I'm talking about his mentality and the look on his face. It's a relentless look. It's a look that he's ready. It's a look that he has something to prove and he has a little chip on his shoulder. I told him, that's what you play with."
