A member of the 2008 NBA Championship Team, Kendrick Perkins arrived in Boston as part of a draft-day trade.  Kendrick, who was drafted late in the 1^st Round, would provide an above-average defense to the Celtics, and he would have two straight top-five Defensive Rating finishes (2007-08 & 2008-09).  Perkins would act as the team's enforcer if need be, and that toughness is hard to quantify, but we hope we did so appropriately on this list.

Ed Pinckney will always be best known for leading Villanova to the NCAA Championship in 1985, where he was named the Final Four Most Outstanding Player.  As a professional, his longest run was with the Boston Celtics, where he was primarily used as a change-of-pace power forward off the bench.  Pinckney was not a star but was efficient, posting a nice PER of 15.6 over 340 games as a Celtic.  Overall, Pinckney averaged 6.1 Points and 19.2 Minutes per Game.

Fox may have been better known in his career with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he helped them win three times, but before that, he played for the Boston Celtics for 6 years, where he posted his best individual numbers.  In Boston, he averaged 10.7 Points per game over his last two seasons, exceeding the 14 PPG threshold.  He would also exceed a PER of 16 in his final three years as a Celtic.

Kevin Gamble struggled to find a spot in the NBA, and when he did, it was with Portland, who would waive him after a few Games.  The Celtics would sign him with little expectation, but he would work his way into the team for six seasons.  The Small Forward would have four straight years with a PPG over 11, with a 15.6 season in 1990/91.
