Jimbo says Perkins/Hunter Not Ready



Ready or not, times are desperate...

Not totally lacking in muscle, Boston boasts at least two guys who look like they spend more time in the weight room than the powder room. 
Brandon Hunter, who at 6-6, 266 pounds is buff enough to recently be featured in an ad in ESPN the Magazine, proudly showing off his chiseled physique. Another rookie, Kendrick Perkins, who just recently turned 19, is a beefy 6-10, 280. 
Hunter has the pedigree, having led the NCAA in rebounding last winter at Ohio University. 
Neither, however, has played a minute in 11 games this season. Might that change? 
"Certainly, Kendrick and Brandon are rugged," said O'Brien. "Hopefully, they'll come along so we could insert them. In my estimation, they aren't ready now." 
They couldn't have been any less ready than the less-than-killer Bs -- Blount, Baker and Battie.
