Players You’ve Never Heard of #3: Sacramento Kings 7-footer Hassan Whiteside. This card might be worth dozens one day…
Kendrick Perkins doesn’t care much for Chris Webber’s ring-less opinions.
EDIT: Here’s what CWebb said about Perk: http://youtu.be/s4qvrNJoQwc starting at 1:35.
EDIT numero dos: I guess that video,which was from a month ago, was the first shot C-Webb took at Perk. The second came tonight, when Chris called Perk an overrated post-defender. I’d like to thank James Herbert from HoopSpeak for the heads up.
In short, Webber doesn’t think Perk is a good fit in OKC and it’s because in Webb’s personal opinion he doesn’t think Kendrick is a good 1-on-1 defender. That’s one I as well as most writers don’t share.
I know last year I wrote that Ainge made the right move in moving Perkins, but it had more to do with how much impact he could have on that season and questions surrounding his free agency. Boston had to win now, not build for the future. Perkins is a center you lock up for the future and OKC was both blessed and smart enough to do so.
Great photograph, or greatest photograph?
