The announcers for the game on TV seemed to agree with that too.  They were
impressed enough to comment on what a good game Drew was playing (stats
aside).

Also, to whom ever wondered why Riley didn't get more minutes - may have been
partly foul trouble. But Riley is the only center playing for the Celts at the
moment that actually looks big enough to be a center (Shintzius excepted as
he's not playing now).  And besides blocking shots and getting rebounds, he
had a nice semi-hook shot that went in earlier in the game.  If he turns out
to have an offense, he may be a real find.  Even as he plays now, he really
upgrades the center position to the point where, on a given night, it may not
actually be awful ;-)
