I like Kendrick Perkins; he is a very good defender and a physical presence. That being said he is a liability on offense especially since all his shoulder injuries (and know knee) seems to even further limited his movements. Thus, I think one of the reasons the Celtics offense has been so efficient and dominating this year is because Perkins’ playing time has either gone to Shaq, Big Baby, or Erden. Shaq is obviously not what he once was, but he still is a force of nature. Big Baby is phenomenal in the variety of ways he can score from being able to hit 15 foot jump shots to thy myriad of amazingly agile moves he has for his size around the basket with a great touch. Finally, I don’t think Erden will be a All Star, but I think he will be a very good back up big man and will add to the list of guys like Rondo and Big Baby that Ainge managed to get later in the draft. All that being said, we need KP back for big man defense, rebounding, and depth.
