I think with Hunter coming in you can say good bye to Grant Long and the
like.

Perkins is one of those guys with limited upside
but low risk.  He'll never be a Moses or a Duncan,
but it seems highly likely that he will be
a good NBA starting center (i.e. 12-15 points and
9+ rebounds pg).  He should be at least as good
as Vitaly, and maybe as good as, say, Kevin Duckworth.
He won't be any worse than Montross or Dampier, who were
both lottery picks. Not bad for #27, or even #20!

Meanwhile, the other guy, hunter, looks like he could
be a star reserve.  He really explosive and skilled, and
with his strength, could really impact a game.  I wouldn't
be surprised if he earned himself major minutes.  Nobody
is going to be able to handle him in practice, esp. on the
boards.
