We've broken the 6'10 barrier 3 times in a week. It's like when Roger Bannister ran the mile in less than 4 minutes. Basketball

I am satisfied with Danny's effort to address the lack of size at center. My only concern is at the 4 spot (on the defensive end of the court) A Center and a PF were on my what we need most list.

The only way for Boston to get GH up to 30 MPG is at PF. Offensively he can have his way but PF is not his natural position. GH is a SF that you can also run the offense through because of his ball handling and passing skills. He lacks the strength and size to effectively defend PF's in the post. The Celtics experienced that last year with Morris but to a lesser degree because Morris is a physical player.

I think Theis and Semi can give us some quality minutes a PF but neither is a starting level PF.

If you look at the top teams in the East all of them have all of them have a better starter at PF than Boston.

I think Boston will need one more move to address that issue.
