Perkins

[hpantazo]

RonnieG,

Brazilian is new to our board and should be treated with more respect than "lol'd."  He has every right to voicing his opinion as everyone does, without having to deal with responses like your initial response.

BTW, welcome to the board Brazilian.  Don't let someone's flippant response keep you away.

Thank you! I am not angry about his " lol'd " ... I do not care about this =) I am here to make friends and talk about our C's. Thank you one more time.

I know that Perkins is not so bad... but i can not expect anything magical from our center... he is a player that not will win championships... so, he is normal and can be changed, in my opinion of course =)

Go go C's!

But he was the starting C on a team that won a title.


And he has improved since then. 

But that was when Perk and Rondo combined to make about 6 mil per.  If they are combining to make 20 mil per, it becomes a lot harder to construct a championship team around them. 

Perk is not the kind of player who can grow into an increased role like Rondo has.  He's a reluctant and unskilled passer with a very loose handle on the ball, which makes him extremely ineffective against any kind of double team on the post.  Nor can he develop much more as a garbage man: he's already lost about as much weight and gained as much quickness as he can.  He's never going to be much of a threat off the pick and roll or in transition.  Nor is he that versatile defensively (a la Ben Wallace).  He can pretty much only guard 5s.

yes, but he does that better than almost anyone in the league
