Six Celtics rank in the top ten in franchise history in both field goal percentage and blocks.  Robert Parish and Kevin McHale are two of them.  Name the other four.

Well, we know it's not Russell because I don't think they recorded blocks back then and no shooting percentages were very high back then.

Bird has to be one of them.  Then my guesses are:

Cedric Maxwell
Perkins (assuming there is not some minimum game level for fg%)
Hmmmmm.....I guess from other questions, I will go Reggie Lewis.




Ced and Perk are correct, Reggie and Bird are not (neither is in the top ten is FG%).

Wow, I thought Larry would sneak in with his shooting percentage.

So if Perk is correct, then some big guys who only played a few seasons here are in play.  Therefore I go....

Tony Battie
Dino Radja

Yes Tony, no Dino.  One left.

Mark Blount? LOL. Hey.. at least I tried. Blount was pretty good for a season when he was here.

Never would have come up with that 4th.  I have purged his name from my Celtics mental history.  He never existed.
