Starting center Kendrick Perkins is playing the best basketball of his NBA career right now for the Celtics. He has played in 15 games (all starts) for the Celtics this season and he is averaging 26.4 minutes, 10.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.0 blocked shots per game. The Celtics just require Perkins to play defense and rebound but he has developed a decent mid-range shot which is making him very hard to defend because of his size. The Celtics hope that Perkins can keep up the good work because the team is really benefitting from it.
