Before they were Stars
Who do you like more of the two High Schoolers we have?
I like Jefferson and I think he can be a double double guy, but to me Perkins looks to be the better all around player. I like Perk more, I think he can be a good leader and player.
Although Perkins didn't show us very much offensivly in the first 3 games of the first summer league, it looks like he's helped in other parts. The most notable part is that he's helping Al make the transaction from playing in High School to playing against other players that have been in the league longer/4 year college students/potential nba-calibar players.
My vote goes to Perkins.
OT: We need a Perkins vs Jefferson Club.

I voted for Perk too  Don't get me wrong, I love Jefferson but I think Perk will turn out very good too. The kid is ripped and he plays Center which is a tougher position to fill. But I love them both

I like them both. I hope they are our "power towers"!
But my vote goes to Al! I think he is going to be a better player in the end!

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!

And at the moment, he looks like he's going to be the best player. Not really a shocking vote.

It's only the summer league, when the season starts Perkins is going to show him what basketball is, he's got Al just where he wants him.

I love both kids and I'd love it if Al turned into Amare but if you look at the stat line, you can clearly see that Kendrick has a COMPLETE game...he's a projected Center and he's getting more assists than Banks, that IS COOL!
Here's to both of them turning it ON this year

Like Perky, liked the pick last year. I LOVE AJ, and have been hoping they would select him all year long. That being said, the one is a power forward with minimal size issues and the other an undersized center. That's not to say that Perky won't be good, but AJ has more upside.

Aquitious whats up with you hatin on Big Al. I realize you like Perk but damn they aint competin against each other. They'll both be nice but Als definitely got the better offensive game.
