Good news for the Perkins haters..

[Bandito]

THe thing with Perkins is that he's good to have because there are some true post players in the league like Dwight, Bynum (when he plays), Gasol etc and he's above average in post defense. But he shouldn't start because those true centers are on the brink of extinction too. Right now you need fast defenders on the center position because there are not a lot of post players.

You guys are giving Scott Brooks too much credit. There is no way that he takes Perkins out of the starting lineup. He would be useless as a bench player. He doesn't give you energy. He does the opposite.

I like what I've seen from him.

We've been so inept at the position for so long a guy like Steven ****ing Adams can walk in and resemble God himself.

Dude is a straight up nerd. Guy will fit right in.

He's in over his head if he thinks he's going to own the night life in OKC... he'll get shit on and realize that basketball is the only thing he's got. I like that.

Not really. The only reason why Perk was good against Howard was the fact that Howard couldn't get in deep position with Perk's rock stature. Once Dwight got a better touch around the low post, Perk was no longer effective against him. Skill was what beat Perk. Bogut on the Bucks regularly destroyed him.

Still can't believe Perkins once averaged 10 pts on 60%. Damn.

He got handed opportunities on silver platters by the Big 3 and then Rondo, that's why.

He's been getting handed silver platter opportunities by Westbrook and Durant the last couple of years, yet he's still not sniffing 10 PPG on 50% shooting. The absurd number of easy, wide-open shots he gets because of Russ and KD, and proceeds to blow, is hands down the most frustrating part of being an OKC fan.

Check Perkins win percentage doe..

[hangintheair]

Thats what I'm talking about.. I have Adams in my fantasy league..

[Spaulding]

Perkins

[HarryCallahan]

I called it a great pick on draft-night, and even though it's still only pre-season i'd still like to gloat.

[All Net]

Even a small leaguer would be a better option than perk.

[Twiens]

Still think they should've taken Olynyk, but Adams is looking like a good role player.

[longtime lurker]

I'm curious to know what Adam's game is like. In all honesty Collison should have replaced Perkins in the starting lineup, but Scoot Brooks happened.
