Re: Mareese Speights on Kendrick Perkins
Perkins is an underrated interior, rim protector.
According to statistics, last season he was one of the top rim defenders according to opponent FG% at the rim. I am pretty sure he was ranked in the top 5 if not top 2? I made a thread about it last season.
Sometimes impact isn't shown on the stat sheet. You need to look beyond blocks and steals. Altering shots. Lane presence.

Re: Mareese Speights on Kendrick Perkins
He`s a bonafide scrub on offence but that is not what the team wants from him. On D he`s very capable. Heavy like a moutain and a fighter, not playing for stats but team results. The anti Kevin Love you could say

Per SportVU, Perk is allowing 36.8 FG% at the rim which among bigs that have played in at least 30 games this season, is No. 1 in the league

We need to get rid of the idea that Perkins is a scrub. It's a myth. He has a role and he plays it very well. He shuts down the overrated Dwight every time they match up.

Perkins is junk, don't know what you're seeing. The guy is straight balls on chin. Put the stat sheet down and use your eyes brother.

Thats a good point. He does well against guys like Howard and Cousins. Maybe Marc Gasol? not sure

Re: Mareese Speights on Kendrick Perkins
There was an article about Perk back in his Boston days while the Celtics were still making noise, he said his favorite matchups were the ones that let him get dirty in the paint and bang around a little bit, i.e. against guys like Howard and Al Jefferson. He said he specifically disliked playing guys like Bosh because they would drag him out of his comfort zone defensively and take him off the dribble more
