Found January 20, 2008 on MVN:
Perkins is Coming Along
TEAMS: Boston Celtics
PLAYERS: Kendrick Perkins,  Ben Wallace,  Darko Milicic
Perkins is all about his defense, and if you consider the entire package, he isn't that bad. Let's just say he's not the worst center in the league, especially if you consider his ability to limit the offensive production of his opponents. Offensively, we've got Perkins ranking 28th amongst starting centers, but defensively he ranks 9th. The good news is Perkins' PER this season has allowed him to passed Ben Wallace and Darko Milicic. Keep it goin' Perk!

    Perk does a lot more than the stat sheet shows. You have to watch him boxing out for his teammates to get rebounds or setting picks for his teammates to get an open shot. Those things are so important and we are fortunate to have a player who is willing to do the dirty work and not look for his own stats. Thanks for a good article.

    So true FLCeltsFan, his +/- isn't the greatest just yet, but I'm fine with his stellar defense as long as we have the big three to surround him with. Someone has to do the dirty work like you said, and Perk is the perfect soldier to get it done! Thanks.
