Perk's Offense Improving

One undersold story of the year thus far has been the gradual but consistently improving offensive game for Kendrick Perkins.  My first thought was that he must have put in some extra work with Clifford Ray.  However, this article reminds us that he didn't have much of a summer to work on anything.

Despite undergoing off-season shoulder surgery that cost him nearly the entire summer, Perkins has been as effective and passionate on defense as ever. He has slowly added a nifty offensive move or two as well.

“I didn’t get to really have the off-season the way I wanted,” he said. “With the month of October, I had to hurry up and jam it in all in one. I was trying to work on my game and get better. I am still trying to improve.”

If Perkins keeps improving his offensive game, he'll be an even bigger bargain than he already is (at just over $4M a year - unheard of for a talented big man).

Just a thought...

Wouldn’t “Perkins Gets Offensive” be more a propos?

perk is still slow to unwind on o but so what. when everything else is clicking, he’s only going to get better. we need him desperately on d and that will always be where his value lies. and watch those moving pics.

What's a smile worth?

“Slow Gather” Krep still bounces the ball on the floor before going up with the wind up slam or shot. He also has not mastered the screen as he either sticks his hip out or moves his feet. Other than that I give the guy and A+ for effort, and A+ for keeping his body in shape since the early days of his rookie season. I wish he had a face up shot as opposed to always getting the ball and immediately turning his back to the basket. His outlet passes are the best in the league in my opinion. I am just really glad we stuck with him and he earned all he has. The temper part and technicals do not bother me.

My question is: How many millions do you have to make before you smile more than once a season? Viva la Krep and Viva la Ram it Low

Is it Soup Yet?

Excellent points. I do agree that his offense is improved, but as Po points out, he’s still making mistakes that I wouldn’t tolerate from my kids.

Ssssssh! Nothing to see here!!!

Jeff, what are you doing? Spies (and trolls) are everywhere! Let’s keep Perk’s offense our little secret. We don’t want the other teams to hear about this.

Perk and Rondo

We talk of the “Big Three”, but Perk and Rondo are just as indispensable to this team.

Not important

Perk needs to focus on big D and defensive boards. His offense is really secondary. Also, he basically has to keep that shoulder in shape and circle two games that have Mr. Bynum on the schedule. Bynum needs to feel that Perk can still dominate him.
