Jermaine O’Neal vs. Kendrick Perkins

Zach Lowe at Celticshub.com does a nice breakdown of the statistical differences between new acquired Jermaine O’Neal and our own lovable Kendrick Perkins.

The understanding is that Jermaine will be the Celtics starting center for a good long time next season. Anywhere from January to February has been targeted as the date for a Perkins return. We also know that KP won’t be 100% for quite a while when he does return.

While O’Neal has played in most of the games (70, 68) each of the past two seasons, it doesn’t mean he has played them 100% healthy either (knees mostly). He even stated that he played in last season’s first round lost to the Celtics while nursing injury.

The hope is that he is the best he has been in for a while to start the season.

Turnovers. The Celtics are essentially trading the most turnover-prone center in the league for the least turnover-prone center in the league.

There is quite a bit more. Check it out here at Celticshub.com
