I think Perkins will be an NBA player but unless he gets more athletic or taller and bigger I think he will never be an all-star. I like his work ethic and he seems to have good character. I did read that he added 5 inches to his verticle leap.

I still have hope that Jefferson will be a special player. The man has height and is built like a tank. He hits his free throws already and at some point in his career will be a decent outside shooter. In high school he was known to pull up and hit 3 pointers and look good doing it. He already looks like a better player than Perkins in the summer league - especially on the boards.

Jared Jeffries lit up the Celtics yesterday and in 2 years in the NBA has done little to nothing. Obviously theses games mean little. However, when players make an impact as a rookie in the NBA they must do it in the summer leagues first and Jefferson is making an impact so far!
